San Francisco Federal Credit Union Youth Savings Account FAQ
A youth savings account encourages smart money management from a young age. Your child can save money and earn interest without worrying about monthly fees or minimum balance requirements, which helps them develop good financial habits early.
Per federal regulations, you can make up to six withdrawals or transfers per month without a penalty. If you exceed the number of allowed monthly withdrawals and transfers, you will be charged an Excess Activity Fee.
Our youth savings account doesn’t have a monthly maintenance fee, which means more of your child’s money stays in the account to grow over time.
Our savings accounts do not allow for check writing.
Yes, our youth savings accounts are federally insured for up to $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).
Children over the age of 13 can check their account balances online. If they are under the age of 13 an adult must check their account balance for them.
