Give Your Child or Teen a Head Start Towards Good Financial Habits
Junior Membership Youth Accounts
Teaching your kids about saving at a young age is a great way to prepare them for financial success in the future. At Diamond, we offer the tools you need to help your teen or child gain an understanding about finances.
Your child can easily become a Junior Member of Diamond Credit Union with a youth account. Any child, age 17 or younger, who becomes a member with a savings account is automatically considered a Junior Member.
How to open a youth account for your child:
In order to establish a Diamond membership for your child, you must open a membership share savings account with a $5 deposit in your child’s name. Because your child is a minor, you will also need to be on the account as the guardian. After opening a member share account, you may also consider opening other savings accounts or share certificates for your child. Stop by any of our branch locations and speak with a representative about all our account options.
