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.)
