Depositing your money into a savings account provides numerous benefits.
With a savings account, the money you deposit accumulates interest, resulting in its growth over time. To illustrate, if you were to deposit $500 into a savings account with a 5% interest rate and refrain from making any withdrawals for a year, your balance would increase to $525. Unlike a static piggy bank, a savings account allows your money to grow over time due to the interest it earns steadily.
Champions First Credit Union offers a 10% interest rate on Youth Savings Accounts.
Before you begin your application to open a savings account, Champions First Credit Union will need the following items:
