It’s never too early for kids to start saving! Just a $5 deposit is all it takes to open a youth savings account in the name of a minor. When you open a share account for your child, their money will grow right along with them. Plus, they will learn how saving money can help them achieve their goals.
Teaching kids about saving is not only a smart choice, it can be a lot of fun too. Our Big Barkers Kidz Club makes saving fun for kids and encourages them to save.
Why open a Kidz Club Account at Scott Credit Union?
Watch their money grow.
Scott Credit Union’s Kidz Club Share Account earns a higher rate (0.450% APY1) than our regular share savings accounts on the first $1,000. Plus, Kidz Club members have the opportunity to open Share Certificates with a lower minimum balance – only $500 – so they can earn even more on their money. Savings accounts for kids may be opened from age 0-12 with a minimum deposit of $5. An adult must be a co-owner on the account.
Learn to manage money with a Student Debit Account.
Scott Credit Union’s Student Debit Account is like a checking account without the checks! It’s perfect for young adults who have never used a debit card before and are learning to manage money for the first time. Learn more about Scott Credit Union’s Student Debit Account.
Get easy access to their account.
Your child’s Kidz Club Share Account is accessible via both SCU Online & SCU Mobile, giving you quick access to check balances, make transfers, and view transaction history. You also have access to their account at any of our convenient branches!
