Children older than 6 who open an account during Kids Days with an initial deposit of at least $25 will receive a $25 match from SAFE.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. —
Halloween is bringing more than candy and costumes to SAFE Credit Union branches across the Sacramento region.
It’s also an opportunity for families to introduce children to banking and build healthy money habits early.
Through Oct. 31, children 17 and younger are invited to visit any of SAFE Credit Union’s 18 area branches for the credit union’s October Kids Days.
At SAFE Credit Union, children as young as 6 can open their own checking account and receive a debit card in person at a branch.
Children older than 6 who open an account during Kids Days with an initial deposit of at least $25 will receive a $25 match from SAFE.
Children who open accounts online are also eligible for the match and can visit a branch to receive prizes.
Parents can monitor transactions, manage debit cards and transfer allowance or chore money through SAFE’s mobile app and online banking.
For extra Halloween fun, Sacramento River Cats mascot Dinger will visit SAFE’s Laguna branch from 11 a.m. to noon Friday, Oct. 30.
Children are encouraged to wear their costumes.
