Any amount over $.25 can be deposited at any time, and the minimum balance to open a Kids Club account is $.01. Customers must be 17 or younger to qualify for this account.

Our School Passbook Account is designed for children under 17 years of age who are currently enrolled in a participating school. This account is designed to help kids learn about the benefits of saving. To make things easier, we’ve established a pickup/return schedule with participating schools. This service enables kids to make regularly scheduled deposits directly from school. Interested students need a Social Security card and must be able to sign or print their name in order to open an account. There is no minimum balance and kids can deposit any amount over $.25.
