FAT CAT Account
For children up to the age of 13, the FAT CAT account is a great way to learn about saving. Children quickly learn that putting money aside can help them achieve future goals, and can see their savings grow each time their passbook is updated. After the age of 12, a FAT CAT account can easily be converted into a HeadStart account for teens. By this time, your youngster is well on the way to knowing how to value and take care of money.

If you're looking for the perfect gift for children up to the age of 13, a credit union Fat Cat account does more than set them on the right path. Our "starter" savings account pays a competitive rate of interest and allows family and friends to make deposits at any time.

With your gift, a youngster will quickly learn that putting money aside can help them achieve future goals - perhaps a home computer, new bike or MP3 player. They'll begin to see the value in making further deposits of their own from allowances or part-time jobs.

HeadStart Account
At Your Neighbourhood Credit Union, we understand the many challenges facing students today. If you have plans to go to college or university, start now to get your money working for you, so when the time comes you have the extra money you need. Our HeadStart program is designed especially for you.

If you're between the ages of 13 and 17, you can take advantage of the reduced-fee HeadStart chequing account.

Full-time students attending a post-secondary institution can continue receiving cost-saving benefits until they are 25 with our Student Plan.
