Youth Accounts

Start your child on the right financial path

Teach your child the value of saving while also teaching money management. Enjoy higher earnings and monthly paid dividends (banks call this interest).  Say goodbye to the withdrawal penalties or restrictions standardized by competing banks. Sunbelt youth accounts have no monthly fees, so your child can watch their account continue to grow!

HELPFUL TIPS

 

  • Have preauthorized payments (such as phone & utility bills) automatically deducted from a Share Draft account, not a Share Savings account.
  • Make one large transfer to your Share Draft Checking to cover anticipated usage, instead of making many small transfers throughout the month.
  • Visit a branch or ATM location to make withdrawals or transfers.
  • Balance your Share Draft Checking to avoid overdraft transfers from your Share Savings account.
  • Apply for a Line of Credit to use as overdraft protection.
  • Open a Checking Account. Share Draft accounts are not subject to Reg D restrictions.
