Pirates love treasure! Teach them to treasure saving!

- Prize for each deposit.

* Deposits qualify for the Reward Club card after 90 days. The money may not be deposited and immediately withdrawn for
reward. Maximum prize amount is $150 per child, per year.

Youth Certificate
West-Aircomm’s youth certificate program is another way to introduce the value of saving to the next generation of savers. For our members ages 0-18, the certificate earns a special rate. To make saving easier, this certificate features the ability to make deposits to the balance throughout the 18-month term.
Youth certificate features:
| Minimum deposit | $100 |
| Term | 18 months |
| In-term deposits | Minimum $25 each deposit |
| Dividends | Compounded, paid quarterly |
| Early withdrawal penalty | 30 days of interest |
Turning 18?
You’ll graduate from the Youth Certificate program into a 12-month certificate and from Youth Savings account to a regular Share Savings account so that you can keep saving and earning with a competitive interest rate. It’s a good time to add a checking account to your regular Share Savings account and expand your available banking features to be able to make payments and manage spending. Need a checking account earlier, before you turn 18? Add a checking account to your Youth Savings account when you turn 16.
