Be smart. Be sensible. Be savvy.


Start your child on the path to smart money habits with an account made just for them. A Savvy Saver account helps kids learn how to save, spend, and grow their money, all while building skills they'll use for life. We'll give you tools to help them along the way.

 



Plant the seeds of future success.

A savings account is one of the best things you can do for your child. They'll learn to set goals, plan ahead and understand money — skills that grow with them. Opening a Savvy Saver account is a great first step toward a lifetime of smart choices.






Save money. Unlock adventure.

When your child opens their Savvy Saver account, they'll get a brand-new piggy bank and visits to the prize box every time they make a deposit. They'll also get fun printable activities to keep them excited about saving. Best of all, you can open an account with just $5, and there is no minimum balance requirements. *
