Unleash the power of your savings!
April is Credit Union Youth Month! This month, when you open a new youth savings account with an initial deposit of $100, sign up for online banking, and enroll in e-statements, we’ll add another $25¹ into that new youth savings account! Open a youth savings account at a branch by mentioning this offer, or online using promo code YOUTHMONTH25.
The new youth account will also be entered in a drawing for a chance to win an out-of-this-world Squishmallow™.²
Already have a youth account? Existing youth members can stop into any branch and make a deposit of $10 or more in April to be entered in the drawing, too!³

FAQs
A youth account allows the child whose name is on the account to have access to the funds in the account. Reliant also offers a custodial account, where the funds are for the child, but the child does not have access to the funds. Visit any Reliant branch or call us at 800-724-9282 for more details.
A youth member can qualify to get a checking account and/or a debit card at age 16.
