Youth Accounts
Dollar Dog (0-12 yrs)
Teach your kids how to save, spend, and earn from a young age! Basic financial education isn’t something typically being taught in schools, so we’re giving our Palmetto First parents the resources to teach your kids the basics of money. You can open a Dollar Dog Kids Club Savings Account for each child in your family.
There will be special events and contests at the credit union, and Dollar Dog’s Clubhouse is always open for learning, fun, and games. A child must join the credit union to become a member of the Dollar Dog Kids Club. All accounts for members under age 18 must have a parent or guardian co-owner. Dollar Dog is for kids up to age 12.
MyLife Checking (13 – 18 yrs)
You’re gaining more independence. You have more freedom and more responsibility. You’re ready to start taking care of some things on your own… why not your money?
MyLife Checking is for teens like you who are ready to take their freedom to the next level. Save and spend your money when you want for the things you want. You can plan big – your first car, college, your own iPad – or small, having your own debit card when things come up. Either way, you decide.
It’s your life, your responsibility and your plans. Make it happen!
True Life Tales of Saving with Dollar Dog!
LENNOX: I deposit my birthday money and earn money by doing chores.
DYLAN: I like going to the toy chest each time I deposit $10 or more!
LENNOX: Because sometimes I really want a toy but don’t want to spend it until I’m older, so I can save for something important.
DYLAN: A humongous Sponge Bob toy!
LENNOX: The biggest stitch toy in the world or a phone!
DYLAN: Immediately points to his mother.
LENNOX: Our mom taught us the importance of saving!
MOM: I’ve had an account with Palmetto First FCU since I was four years old. My father taught me the importance of saving money, and I want to pass that along to my kids.
Way to go Lennox, Dylan, and Mom! It just goes to show, you’re never too young to start saving for tomorrow. See if you have what it takes to put money away with Dollar Dog, just like Lennox and Dylan!
