Youth Savings Account
Our Credit Union Youth Savings account is designed for ages 13 to 21. A $25.00 minimum balance is required to open an account. This program is intended to teach young people money management skills, particularly the need to save for future education needs and other large expenses as they grow to adults. Opening their $25 share account entitles youth to full membership privileges and qualifies the young person for many other CU services.
