Building Financial Futures

Start Their Savings Journey Early!

Opening a savings account for your child is more than just putting money aside—it’s giving them a head start on their financial future. When kids learn to save early, they develop healthy habits, build confidence with money, and begin to understand the value of planning ahead. Starting now means they’ll be better prepared for the milestones to come, from their first car to college and beyond.

Lifelong Benefits

A savings account helps kids see how money grows over time, teaching patience and responsibility. These early lessons make saving feel natural, not overwhelming, as they get older.

  • Builds strong money habits from day one
  • Encourages goal-setting and planning
  • Creates confidence in managing money responsibly
  • Helps kids understand the how saving can help achieve their goals

Opening a savings account for your child today is a simple step that can make a big difference tomorrow. Together, you’ll set the foundation for a future full of smart financial choices.

What You'll Need to Open a Youth Account

  • Bring your child’s Social Security card. If they’re old enough, a school ID or learner’s permit can be used as well, and sometimes we’ll ask for a birth certificate. 
  • Youth accounts can’t be opened online, but once the account is set up, your child can enjoy the convenience of online banking.
  • A parent or guardian must be listed as a joint account holder.
  • Debit cards are available for youth accounts, but parents decide when their child is ready for one.
