Lifelong financial success starts here
Help your kids get an early start on being money smart. You can open a savings account for a child of any age, even a baby, typically with joint ownership, or a custodial account that doesn’t give them access to the cash until they are adults.
- No monthly fees
- No minimum deposit or balance
- Your first $1 deposit is on us!
- Up to age 17
A savings account is a great way to save birthday money or an allowance, and get your kids started on the concept of budgeting. We recommend that you meet with a Patelco team member to open a youth savings account. You can meet online via Zoom or visit a branch near you. (Use the button above to make an appointment.)
