Youth Savings

Teach, save, grow

Your child's financial future starts here.

  • Overview

    Start young, save big

    Teaching your child, tween or teen how to save is more than piggy bank fun. From coins to cash, learning early means growing up money-smart and we’re here to help.

    Low minimum opening deposit

    Open with as little as $5.

    No monthly maintenance fee

    Because saving shouldn’t cost your child anything.

    Mobile-friendly

    Helping your kids watch their money grow is easy with the Heartland Mobile App. Plus, you’ll have access to transfer money from your Heartland account to theirs and deposit birthday, holiday or graduation checks remotely.

    Automatic savings

    Set up automatic transfers from your Heartland account to theirs for allowance.

    Online banking

    View your child’s account on a computer via online banking. You can view statements, set alerts, transfer money and more.

    Safe and secure

    You can rest easy knowing deposits are federally insured by NCUA to $250,000 and an additional $250,000 through Excess Share Insurance Corp (ESI).

Although my son has had an account with another bank for three years, the decision to switch to Heartland was simple. Thanks to the Shared Services options, my son is now a Heartland Credit Union member and can do his finances more easily with multiple choices i.e debit card, internet banking, bill pay, ATM and Shared Service Centers.  Thank you Heartland Credit Union!
