Junior Savers

Start their saving journey

What’s your little one dreaming of? Help them save for it!

Saving for a child today is a great gift for their future. Not only can they start their adult lives with some savings, but getting kids involved early with saving also helps them learn important lessons about money.

To help encourage your children to save, we developed our Junior Savings Account for children from birth up to 16 years of age.

If you are a parent or guardian of a child and are a member of the credit union, you can open a Junior Savings Account to start them on their savings journey.

Helps to save for holidays, school trips, future driving lessons and more.
