“Ready, Set, Save!” When kids learn about the importance of saving money for the future, they are laying the foundation for financial success!
Kids are more excited to save when they’re working toward something special. Help them pick a goal, remind them why it matters, remind them why they’re saving when spending feels tempting, and watch their confidence grow when they reach it!
Capital Area FCU has tools to help fulfill these dreams. Opening a youth account with us isn’t just about putting money away—it’s about building confidence, learning smart money habits, and creating a strong foundation for the future, which starts with that first deposit. With lower fees and competitive savings rates, your credit union makes it easy to get started. On your mark… get set… save!
During the month of April, credit unions in Maine and across the country celebrate National Credit Union Youth Month and National Financial Literacy Month. While credit unions take financial education seriously all year long, this month provides us even more opportunities to work with our members and community partners to promote financial wellness.
Get involved by using the X hashtag #CUYouthMonth or #ReadySetSave to let everyone know how your credit union is making a difference in young members’ lives.
