SOUTH HAVEN, MI (January 30, 2015) -- Honor Credit Union is excited to bring the benefits of the student credit union movement to Bangor Public Schools with Little Vikings Student Credit Union! Little Vikings SCU is the student credit union at South Walnut Elementary School within Bangor Public Schools. Little Vikings SCU celebrated its grand opening on Wednesday January 28th.
Little Vikings SCU is Honor Credit Union’s fifteenth student credit union. With the supervision of Honor’s South Haven branch team, Little Vikings SCU will be ran by the fourth grade students of South Walnut Elementary. With rewards for making deposits, students will learn first-hand how valuable and fun saving can be at any age. In addition to promoting financial literacy skills, Little Vikings SCU will “employ” the fourth grade students in roles including tellers, managers, and marketing, teaching valuable life skills such as responsibility, organization, and creativity. Little Vikings SCU will be open for deposits every Wednesday morning from 7:30am – 8:00am.
“Witnessing all of the benefits that student credit unions have been able to bring to other students, we are so excited to share this with South Walnut Elementary and Bangor Public Schools,” comments Courtney Waechter, Honor CU South Haven branch manager.
