Family Banking
Start Your Child on the Right Financial Path
Whether you're a parent or a grandparent, you know the importance of teaching children about money early on. With our new Family Banking account, educating kids (recommended for ages 10 and older) about money is now easy and convenient.
With their own account, kids have the interactive tools they need to learn about such real-world skills as saving, smart spending, lending and borrowing money.
Here's how it works:
Each child has their own account and can perform actual transactions - providing an early sense of responsibility and ownership.
Kids receive a debit card - allowing them flexibility and independence. The card can also be used with Apple Pay, Android Pay and Samsung Pay to pay for daily expenses.
Accounts are linked so you can view and monitor your child's spending and saving through Mobile and Online Banking - but they can't see your account activity.
Deposit money into your child's account quickly and easily by using our transfer feature. It's a great way to pay a child's allowance or college student's living expenses.
Children can also reimburse you by using the transfer feature.
All of these features are accessible through both Online and Mobile Banking. Start a child on the right financial path with our new Family Banking account.
