We're making improvements to our Youth Accounts — providing parents and kids even greater opportunity to be in control of their money. Starting May 2022, we're introducing the Wescom Youth Banking Account (age 12 and under) and Wescom Youth Banking Plus (age 13-17). Both accounts will give youth the right amount of financial responsibility needed to understand how to save, spend, and grow their money with Wescom. Plus — they're completely free.
Here are just a few new features to look forward to:
*APY=Annual Percentage Yield. APY is accurate as of 05/02/2022 and subject to change without notice. Fees or other conditions could reduce earnings. The 2.00% APY on the first $500 deposit offer applies to youth savings accounts only and is not available with the College Savers Certificate. See About Your Credit Union Account Agreement for details.
**One per calendar year.
