Frequently asked questions

  • Will pausing a Goal affect my saved balance?

    No. Pausing only stops future automatic transfers. Any money already saved stays in your Financial Goal plan.

  • Can I still make manual contributions while a Goal is paused?

    No. Manual contributions are not available while a Goal is paused. Resume the Goal to start contributing again.

  • What happens if I cancel my Premium Membership while a Goal is paused?

    Financial Goals require an active Premium Membership. If you cancel Premium, your Goal will be deactivated. See Financial Goals overview for more details.
