Youth Savings & Financial Planning

Open A Superstar Account For Ages 6 and under

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 Contest

Any new youth member who opens an account from September 1, 2024 to May 31, 2025, will be entered into a drawing to win a $100 account deposit in the month they opened the account. The drawing will take place on the 5th of the following month. PLUS, all youth who open an account during the 2024-25 school year will be entered for a chance to win a GRAND PRIZE $500 deposit into their account.

Plus, Superstar account members ages 0-6 get a special gift package, which includes:

  • ECU Tote Bag
  • Cape and Mask Set
  • ECU Coin Bank
  • ECU Activity Book
