Children Learn to Save at Credit Union ONE

FERNDALE, MI – Knowing how important it is to start teaching children about money from an early age, Credit Union ONE has debuted the Saving Is Fun Kids Club, a youth account geared to children eleven years and younger.

With an easy sign-up for new or existing memberships, children will join club mascots, the Money Mammals to learn about saving and spending, while earning prizes and incentive rewards, playing games, and watching their money grow.

A special website, cuone.org/youth has been designed especially for “club members” with fun activities, contests, promotions and discounts.  The site also has tools for parents and teachers to help these young members along the way.

“Children need to be educated on financial basics as they go through life, and a youth account is a great way to expose them to this education in a fun, interactive way, said Swami Seetharaman, Credit Union ONE Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer.  We are excited to be able to offer this to our youngest members.”
