A Youth Account is a smart way for children to take their first step towards successful money management.
By belonging to Rhode Island Credit Union, children become eligible for a large variety of products and services throughout their lifetime. Starting an account at a young age gives children the perfect opportunity to learn the importance of managing money. They can watch their account balance grow as they earn dividends. They can even benefit from higher dividend rates with a Certificate of Deposit.
Help your kids learn more about money and finance by:
- Establishing healthy money habits and increased understanding of every day money management
