Student Accounts
We believe that one account doesn't fit everyone...especially younger members. That's why Union Square offers a variety of Student Accounts tailored to the members they serve.
• SAFER THAN CASH
• HELP YOUR TEENAGER DEVELOP FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
• MONITOR SPENDING WITH ONLINE BANKING, TEXT, OR EMAIL MESSAGES
• PERFECT FOR EMERGENCIES
• HONOR ROLL REWARDS PROGRAM PROVIDES INCENTIVE TO STUDY
The Credit Union will not collect, use or disclose online information received from children under age 13 without prior parental notification and consent, which will include an opportunity for the parent to prevent use of information and participation in the activity. Online information will only be used to respond directly to the child’s request and will not be used for other purposes without prior parental consent.
Super Saver
Smart Saving for Children
Our Super Saver account is designed with kids ages 0-12 in mind. We want our youngest members to learn if you save a little at a time, and do it regularly, it really pays off. That’s why we offer incentives for being on the honor roll during the Fall and Spring semesters.
*If your child is 12 years old or younger and you’re already a Union Square member, just come in and visit one of our Financial Service Representatives to set up your child's Super Saver Account.
*Student must be 12 years of age or younger and have a parent or guardian who is a member of the credit union present when the account is opened. The parent or guardian will be required to be designated with a legal role on the student account and will be jointly liable for the account and transactional activity.
