SPECIAL STUDENT ACCOUNTS
The Credit
Union would like help our youth on the road to sound financial practices. To
that end, we offer financial services to students 16 years and over. They
are eligible for Share draft (checking) accounts, master card, visa credit
cards, auto loans and various savings accounts. We take special care to see
that with our help and the help of their parents, they learn to use these
services in a productive and responsible way....the Credit Union way.
We also encourage our very young members to save. It is never too early to learn how to save. We want our young members to receive financial information that is pertinent to their lifestyle. We are introducing a few web sites which will feel will be great resources. Below are links to these web sites. (Click the link or picture). Please Note: (See our Full Disclaimer on our Links page) You will be leaving the Credit Union web site. You will be linking to an alternate web site not operated by the Credit Union.

The Johnny Appleseed Junior Ecology Club
