Filene Research Institute and SaveUp.com formally launched Tuesday a pilot initiative involving 20 credit unions in 15 states offering customized packages promoting account savings. 

As part of the pilot, credit unions from Virginia to California have started distributing what the San Francisco company calls "a customized SaveUp experience for their members" by rewarding positive financial action for savings behavior using a point system redeemable in prizes.
