When you open a savings account for a child 10 years old or younger, we will deposit the first $25.00!

Which Youth Account Is Right for You and Your Child?

Wymar Youth Account (Child Can Access)

• I want my child to have access to the funds and to be able to make deposits (such as birthday money or earnings from a job)

• When my child is old enough, I’d consider letting him or her have a checking account with a debit card on this account

• I want to be able to add more than one adult on this account with my child

• I am looking for an account that will help my child learn about saving with opportunities for prize drawings and other promotions throughout the year

Louisiana Uniform Transfer to Minor Account (Adult is the Custodian)

• I want an account to benefit my child, but I don’t want my child to have access to the funds

• I want an account that I control in order to save for college or a car for my child

• I am ok with an account that can only have one adult on it as a custodian

• I want an account that is “locked down” until I come into the credit union with my child to transfer the funds to a brand new account opened in his or her name

• I only want a savings account and will never require checks or a debit card for this account

Ready to open your child a savings account? All you need is to submit a new membership application here and a copy of their Social Security card plus one other form of ID such as a birth certificate, health insurance card, report card, or school ID. You’ll be glad you did!
