What should we bring?

The teen will need their social security card as identification. The guardian will need their identification and their social security card. If the address does not match the identification, the guardian will need to bring two pieces of qualifying mail to verify the new address.

What does it cost to get started?

Every credit union member opens a savings account with $5 as their "share" of the credit union as an owner. A teen checking needs a $20 deposit, but there is no minimum account balance needed.

Are there benefits beyond the account?

Throughout the year we have member giveaways, youth specific contests, and many in-branch giveaways.
Download Card Suite Lite to control your card, set transaction limits and alerts, and so much more.
