Meet Kit Savings!

A kit is the name for the young of several wildlife species, including foxes, rabbits, squirrels, and beavers. Just like a young kit learns, grows, and prepares for the future, Kit Savings helps kids build strong savings habits from an early age.

When young savers join, they become members of the Kit Club, where learning to save is rewarding, exciting, and fun. Whether they're saving for a special goal or simply learning the value of money, Kit Savings helps their savings grow along the way.

Kit Savings is available for children through age 12. At age 13, Kit Savings will automatically converts to a Youth Savings Account, or eligible members may choose to take the next step and open their first checking account.
