Savings

The Automatic Bell Dispenser, known as Bellpoint in PAL games, commonly refered to as the ABD, is a machine similar to an ATM (Automatic Teller Machine, or Cash Machine). It allows you to access the Bank of Nintendo, allowing you to pay your mortgage to Tom Nook, withdraw and deposit Bells, or reissue a shopping card. 0.5% interest is given on the first of each month. The ABD is only featured in.

Shopping Card
After 10,000 Bells have been deposited into a bank account, the bank will send a shopping card (which is also referred to simply as a card) in the mail. This card works in the same way as a debit card, allowing the player to spend money in their bank account without carrying the Bells around. A Golden Card can be obtained by becomin a VIP at the bank, when a total of 1,000,000 Bells has been deposited into the account. It works the same way as the regular shopping card.
