Kids Account
A brighter future for your child
Teach your child the joy of saving with a Maleny Credit Union Savings Account
A brighter future …..
It’s never too late or early to teach your child to save. Financial literacy is the ability to understand how money works in the world: how you manage it, earn or make it and how to grow it into more.
Teach your child the understanding of money
We all want our children to have a brighter future. To achieve this one of the things our children need to understand is money and how it works. A great way to kickstart children’s understanding of money is for them to learn about banking, saving and budgeting and what better way than having their very own savings account.
Good Habits
We all know how quickly children pick things up and learning good habits right from the start is what they need to become confident, responsible adults. We suggest trying our 52 Week Money Challenge.
Your child starts high school and enters into our 52 week money challenge, in one year they will save $1,378.00. By the time they finish high school they will have enough money to buy a good secondhand vehicle, or to further their education, to travel or to set up their life away from home. This is an exciting program that helps children move smoothly from school life into adult life without a financial struggle for them or you.
