April is National Credit Union Youth Month, the time each year where credit unions emphasize teaching and encouraging kids to develop strong financial habits. This year’s theme is “Grow Your Savings Garden at a Credit Union.” We have a few great activities planned during the month to help encourage, and reward, young savers. Stop by the branch to pick up your planting pot and seed!
Help your kids plant the seeds of financial wisdom with a savings account at DSFCU. It’s the perfect place for their money to grow! When you open a Youth Savings during April, DSFCU will cover the initial $25 minimum balance requirement plus deposit another $25 on your behalf! When your teen is ready to start managing money and making purchases, open a free DSFCU Student Checking for them.
New Account Cash Drawing
Open a new Youth membership account at DSFCU during the month of April and the youth will be entered into a cash drawing to win $50 cash!
Earn Credit Union Rewards Bucks and possibly $100!
Each deposit of at least $25 during the month of April will earn Credit Union Rewards Bucks. You can redeem your Rewards Bucks for a selection of prizes from the treasure chest. Or, exchange your rewards bucks for a ticket to be entered into a $100 cash drawing at the end of the month (one ticket per reward buck).
- $25 deposit = 1 reward buck
- $26 – $100 = 2 reward bucks
- $101 – $200 = 3 reward bucks
- $201 – $300 = 4 reward bucks
- $301 – $400 = 5 reward bucks
Youth Month Coloring Contest
During the month of April, we will be holding a coloring contest. When you turn in a coloring page during April, you’ll earn one Reward Buck that you can redeem for prizes. At the end of the month, there will be three drawings chosen from the submitted entries; one in the age group of 4 years or younger, one from the age group of 5-8 years old and one from the age group of of 9-17 years old. The selected winners will receive a $25 cash deposit to their DSFCU account!
