YA - Teens 13-17

At BFSFCU, we believe in teaching kids about how credit unions and banks differ, as well as the importance of membership.

The teen years are a great time to put the building blocks in place for life-long financial success. It’s also important for teens to start experiencing some financial independence while seeing how the decisions they make about money can help them achieve their goals.

For example, small, regular contributions and competitive interest rates can have an impact on saving for that important first car or college.

For older teens, learning about electronic payments and how to protect their privacy and their money from identity theft and scams becomes more important every day.
