It’s never too early to teach the value of saving. At Maps Credit Union, we believe financial confidence begins in childhood. Our Youth Savings Accounts are designed to help Oregon families introduce smart money habits early, turning small lessons into lifelong financial skills.

Whether your child is earning their first allowance or saving for a big goal, Maps offers a safe, simple way to help them grow their savings while learning the importance of managing money
responsibly.

Why Open a Youth Savings Account?

A Youth Savings Account does more than store money; it builds the foundation for future financial success. By starting early, children and teens learn how to plan, save, and see the rewards of consistency.

Here’s what makes a youth account valuable:

• Encourages goal-setting: Children learn to save for something meaningful, whether that’s a bike, a school trip, or college fund.
• Teaches responsibility: Regular deposits and tracking balances show how saving adds up over time.
• Promotes financial literacy: Kids gain real-world experience managing money with parental guidance.
• Creates lasting habits: Early exposure helps kids carry smart financial practices into adulthood.

For Oregon families, these lessons are more than financial; they’re practical life skills that set
the stage for independence and confidence.

How to Open a Youth Savings Account

Getting started is simple. Opening a Youth Savings Account at Maps Credit Union is a hands-on way to teach your child about saving and responsibility with a little help from you.

Here’s how Oregon families can open a Youth Savings Account:

• Check your eligibility: Check if the child, parent, or guardian lives or works in an eligible Oregon community.
• Start the process: Accounts can be opened at a Maps branch with a parent or guardian.

Our team is here to make the process easy and informative, so you and your child can focus on what matters most: building a bright financial future together.
