Youth And teen sAVINGS & CHECKING ACCOUNTS

Meet your family’s local financial partner for life.

Teaching your kids the value of a dollar isn’t always easy, but at TruStone Financial Credit Union we believe no child is too young to discover the importance of saving money. We offer MoneyWise savings accounts that are just right for children under age 18 with unique saving options, exclusively designed to fit their needs.  We believe these products are the first step toward a sound financial future.  Starting your child’s relationship with a credit union they can trust will make the financial education process easier and more rewarding and make their transition into checking accounts smoother.

As their change adds up, stop by your local branch in Minnesota or Wisconsin and use our Coin Machine to turn that spare change into cash for your child’s savings account.

*APY: Annual Percentage Yield. Fees could reduce the earnings on the dividend bearing accounts. TruStone Financial membership required. The APY assumes that dividends will remain in your account until maturity. Penalties may be imposed if you withdraw any of the principal in your account before the maturity date. The penalty will equal 90 days’ dividends on your account if the original term is one year or less. The penalty will equal 365 days’ dividends on your account if the original term is greater than one year. If a certificate is withdrawn within six calendar days after the account is opened, a penalty of at least seven days dividends will be assessed.

DIVIDEND INFORMATION: Balance computation method – Dividends are calculated by the daily balance method which applies a daily periodic rate to the balance in the account each day. Accrual of dividends on non-cash deposits – Dividends will begin to accrue on the business day you deposit non-cash items (e.g. checks) to your account. Compounding and crediting frequency – Dividends will be compounded and credited at the end of the calendar quarter and on the maturity date of your certificate. Withdrawal of dividends prior to maturity – The APY assumes that dividends will remain in your account until maturity. A withdrawal will reduce earnings.
