Teach your children the importance of saving money this summer and play a little soccer to celebrate! Bethpage Federal Credit Union, New York State’s largest credit union based on Long Island, will give your child a free, commemorative, international soccer ball, when you go to any Bethpage branch to sign your child up for aYouth Savings or Student Checking Account.
A not-for-profit financial cooperative, Bethpage is able to offer the best rates and lowest fees available for families living or working on Long Island. Bethpage’s 3 percent APY Youth Savings Account rate on the first $1,000 can’t be beat. The account is for children under the age of 21. The Bethpage Student Checking Account, for young adults ages 15-21, offers free checking with no minimum opening balance, no monthly service charges, free checks and free online banking and bill pay.
“It’s never too early to start teaching your children the value of money and how to make good spending decisions as they grow,” said Gerard Schmitt, Vice President, Bethpage. “It’s also equally as important to make sure your child’s hard earned money earns the best rates possible and that no hidden fees exist. We look forward to working hand-in-hand with parents and their children to help make the most out of their early learning experiences with money.” For more information, go to www.bethpagefcu.com and click on Youth Accounts.
