Happy National Credit Union Youth Month!
Celebrate National Credit Union Youth Month with ACU!
Jumpstart Your Child's Financial Future This April!
As parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles, we play a crucial role in shaping our children's financial future. April is Financial Literacy Month—the perfect time to instill smart money habits that will benefit them for life!
Many young people grow up without formal financial education, learning about money instead through observation and experience. That’s why it’s up to us to guide them in making wise financial decisions.
Tips to Jumpstart Your Kid's Financial Future:
- Teach the value of money – Let kids earn an allowance through chores or small projects. Each task is an opportunity to connect hard work with financial rewards.
- Be transparent about costs – Involve them in everyday purchases, whether at the grocery store or online, to help them understand the real value of money.
- Encourage saving habits – Set a savings goal together and track progress, whether it’s for a toy, a special outing, or an app they love.
- Make learning fun – Explore finances in a kid-friendly way with our Financial Safari! Download our engaging Youth Month packet, designed for elementary, middle, and high school students.
- Start their financial journey – Open a Safari Savings Club Account! Designed for children 15 and under, this account earns higher dividends on the first $500 and includes online and mobile banking access. With just a $10 minimum to open, it’s the perfect way to start your child’s savings journey.
- Special Bonus Alert! Open and fund a new Safari Savings Club Account with $50, and we’ll reward them with a $25 bonus*—a great way to boost their savings from the start!
This April, let’s empower the next generation with the financial tools they need to succeed.
Start today and watch them LIVE, BANK, and GROW!
