Child Savings Accounts

WE'RE COMMITTED TO OUR YOUTH

We are committed to equipping tomorrow’s leaders with the tools that they will need to be financially successful. That’s why we support the kids in the communities we serve with child savings accounts and Student Credit Unions. Our goal is to teach our youngest members how to manage their money.

Benefits Of Starting Early

  • There are 2,470 Honor Child Savings Accounts opened ever year on average.
  • Teaching children about money and how to set savings goals is a valuable life skill.
  • Children who have a savings account for college are three times more likely to go to college.
  • 44 percent of parents haven't talked to their children about long-term saving.*

STUDENT CREDIT UNIONS

Our Student Credit Union program is a great way for students to increase their financial literacy, and gain valuable work experience. Our program allows for students to run an actual credit union location in their school, which provides a convenient banking location for both students and staff, all while students gain a wide range of experience. It also provides a convenient location for both students and staff to make deposits into their Honor Credit Union account.
