Youth Savings

Youth SavingsTeaching our children where money DOES grow.

It is never too early to start teaching children about money, nor when to start building their fortunes. That’s why partnering with BCU is a smart move for youth accounts.


The Stepping Stones Savings account works like a regular savings account, but with the addition of special programs, newsletters, and online activities that teach children everything from counting coins to the basics of creating a budget.

To open a Youth Savings account, you'll need to open a new youth Member account, or visit your local service center.
