Junior Savers

Junior Savers Accounts

Teaching children the value of money is a real benefit to them in the future and habits learned from an early age last a lifetime. We want to encourage the development of a regular savings habit and want to encourage all children to join us here at the credit union and open their very first savings account! Opening up a credit union account for children is a simple process. You’ll just need to provide the following documents to open a junior accounts:

For the Child:

  • Birth Certificate or Passport and
  • Proof of PPSN

For the Parent/Guardian:

  • Proof of ID (Passport or Driver’s License) and
  • Proof of Address (Current Utility Bill or Bank Statement)

Junior Savers Reward Scheme

Junior Savers Sticker cards will be made available for young members allowing them to track their saving journey. Each time a child lodges money into their credit union account, a sticker will be placed on their card, and a reward given once they complete it.

This week-long annual campaign aims to raise awareness about the importance of teaching children the value of money, and encouraging kids to save.

During the week (which was held Sept 2022), credit unions will be running a number of initiatives to raise awareness about the importance of children saving. Credit unions will also raise awareness of the campaign by sharing helpful advice for parents – across informational leaflets, websites and on their social media channels.

Studies* show that giving kids hands-on, real-world experience with money is essential to prepare them financially for adulthood. Teaching children the value of money is a real benefit to them in the future and habits learned from an early age last a lifetime.

Art, colouring and photography competitions amongst others are run for our younger members throughout the year, so keep an eye on social media and posters in the office for the next fun competition.
