A program for young adults ready to take responsibility for their financial future

If you're between the ages of 13-18, our special account will give you a jump start on your financial future by giving you the tools you need to succeed. Things like:

• A boosted rate on a savings account¹ — higher than what our regular savings accounts earn
• A boosted rate on a short-term CD, with a lower minimum balance requirement than adult CDs
• A free checking account²
• An ATM/debit card with free access to more than 250 ATMs locally and 30,000 nationwide!³
• Free paper statements (or eStatements, if you prefer)
• A low-rate Visa credit card with no annual fee and a low credit limit to help you establish credit⁴

A minimum deposit of $25 is needed to open a Boost account. By learning how to use your own money to make real-life decisions, you'll learn great saving and spending habits.

We'll be with with you every step of the way

You'll learn how to do things that are important, like:

• Using online banking and our mobile app to stay on top of your money
• Depositing checks electronically with your smartphone's camera
• Balancing a checkbook
• Budgeting and planning ahead
• Shopping for the best values
• Creating good credit use and payment habits
• Applying for an auto loan

Having a Boost account is one of the first steps toward making the most of your money.
