Kids' Credit Union

Kids' Credit Union (KCU) credit

KCU Basics

  • Kids’ Credit Union is designed to grow as your child grows.
  • Each Kids’ Credit Union member is asked to work toward the savings goal for his/her current age/grade level
  • The savings year runs from July 1-June 30.
  • If the member meets his/her yearly savings goal, that exact amount is converted into a Share Certificate.
  • Share Certificates are issued in July and mature in December of the child’s graduation year.
  • Children who join KCU by 2nd grade and meet all savings goals will graduate with over $10,000.
  • Those who join earlier and meet all savings goals will likely have more than $10,000.
  • There could be advantages to withdrawing the proceeds before a child begins his/her senior year. Talk to a financial adviser to determine which strategy works best for your family.
  • If your child/children are unable to meet their 6th-11th grade savings goal, there is a fallback savings goal of $500 that he/she can meet. The fall back CD of $500 will earn 5% interest. SCFCU wants to help KCU members contribute to their continued savings.
