Credit Union of Ohio encourages its members to build healthy financial habits at a young age. Whether it be helping with a savings strategy, offering free educational workshops, providing signature loans or scholarship opportunities—financial literacy for the entire family is at the core of Credit Union of Ohio’s mission.
Here are some simple and fun ways to encourage your kids to save:
- Encourage them to save a portion of their money from holidays and birthdays.
- Make it a fun experience by taking them to the branch and have them sign their name and make the deposit.
- Fill the piggy bank! Most children have some sort of piggy bank. Encourage them to save this money. Have them count and roll it to deposit into their savings account.
