Youth Savings & Financial Planning

Open A Rock Star Account For Ages 7-11

Youth Savings Account

Help young people up to age 17 engage in the fun of saving and reward them for filling up their piggy bank—and all the while, they’ll earn interest on any deposit. A parent, aunt, uncle, grandparent or friend can open a youth savings account, even for a baby, and help save for their future.

A youth account operates just like our regular account:

  • Open the account with a one-time, $5 membership deposit, which is required to purchase a share of membership in the credit union.
  • Deposits and withdrawals can be made in any amount.
  • Account interest is compounded and paid quarterly.
  • Through this account, you establish membership at Extra Credit Union with access to all our services.

Account Opening Contests

Any new youth member who opens an account from September 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024 will receive a $5 match deposited In their account. As well as, be entered Into a drawing to win a $250 account deposit, which will take place In early July 2024.

Plus, Rockstar account members ages 7-11 get a special gift package, which includes:

  • ECU Drawstring Bag
  • ECU Coin Bank
  • ECU Color-Changing pencil
  • Blow-Up Guitar
