THE CREDIT UNION DIFFERENCE Teach Your Kids Good Savings Habits PARENTS OFTEN UNDERESTIMATE the power they have to teach their children about money management. Many surveys show that kids look to their parents for financial guidance. By educating your children about finances, you can encourage a healthy attitude toward money and instill good savings habits that will last a lifetime. BECU wants to help, too, by offering our Early Saver SM account. Members under age 18 earn 7.50% APY on the first $500 in their Early Saver savings account. Balances above $500 earn BECU’s regular savings rate, which is still much higher than what you’d typically earn at a bank. To open an Early Saver account, members need to be under the age of 18 and and begin with a deposit of at least $5. We want to make it easy for young people to save—and more rewarding, too. If your kids don’t already have a savings account at BECU, open an Early Saver account for them today. It’s a great way to teach your kids the value of saving money.
