Overview
Introducing the People Driven Credit Union Youth Account.
Empower your children with smart money habits from an early age by opening a PDCU Youth Account for them. With this account, you’re not just providing them with a bank account – you’re opening up a world of financial literacy education.
Youth accounts are tailored for ages 0-17 and offer a comprehensive solution for teaching your kids and teens about money management. Each PDCU Youth Account includes both a checking and savings account and is equipped with features that allow parents to set up alerts and limits.
Furthermore, you can actively guide your child through real-world financial experiences like using an ATM. With a minimum initial deposit requirement of just $5 and no monthly service fees, getting started is easy and affordable.
To open and manage an account, you must be the child’s parent, grandparent, or legal guardian. As the joint account holder, you’ll have access to set up account alerts, parental controls, online access, and more.
