WE LOVE OUR LITTLE MEMBERS!
We’re here to support you through all stages of your financial journey. Whether you’re just learning about budgeting, credit scores, and how loans work – or you’re a seasoned pro; we have the products and services you need to thrive financially.
YOUTH ACCOUNTS
Super Saver Kids Club Savings (0-12 years old) – Education isn’t just about reading, writing and arithmetic. Being money-smart is important to your future, too! That’s why, at CTCU, when you open a Youth Savings Account you are automatically added to our Super Saver Kids Club! This club is designed to help encourage kids to save, teach them the importance of saving, and to have some fun along the way.
REAL Teen Checking (13-18 years old*) – A CTCU REAL Teen Checking Account is a great first checking account. There are no checks to buy – you access your money with a REAL debit card that you can use at ATMs and anywhere Mastercard is accepted. It’s faster and safer than using cash. There are many perks for teens as well as their parents. Perks for parents include automatic notifications sent via text alerts to parents if account reaches a predetermined balance, ability to set up automatic allowance, view/monitor all spending, set daily spending limits, and more.
Youth Certificates (0-18 years old) – Youth Certificates are available for kids from birth up to age 18. Members must have a Youth Savings Account (birth to 12 years old) or regular share savings (13-18 years old) prior to opening a Youth Certificate. Maximum amount deposited is $10,000. Maximum balance is $10,000 plus compounded yield. See disclosures for full details.
It’s true…WE LOVE OUR MEMBERS, but our communities love our members as well!
We were able to give over $100,000 back to our local community and school districts during 2019 through our CTCU Foundation. This was made possible by our members and we want to say THANK YOU! Even though we weren’t able to attend or host as many events as we usually do, we also gave over $100,000 in 2020 to our local communities and school districts.
Did you know that WE ARE A NOT-FOR-PROFIT COOPERATIVE?
That means any profits we make go back to our members in terms of lower loan rates, higher dividends, and we’ve even given bonus dividends for the past eight consecutive years.
