More than an account, it’s a life lesson.

From those first deposits toward college, to weekly allowances, to an official paycheck, a Custodial Share Savings account provides our younger members a foundation for a lifetime of good financial habits.

Custodial Share Savings accounts are opened under the terms of the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act. A parent or legal guardian may open an account for a minor who is under 18 years of age.

Custodial Share Savings Accounts are the first step to lifelong saving.

Opening a Custodial Share Savings account for a minor is a smart way to help them start saving early. It can also be a way to teach foundational banking skills by:

  • Taking trips to the credit union to make deposits together

  • Looking at statements to talk about how saving adds up over time

  • Talking about what to save for and setting goals
