At KCCU, we understand the importance of learning about banking.
We believe financial literacy is a lifelong learning process and essential in the development of strong money management skills. Where better to start your child’s financial journey than with their first account!
KCCU’s youth account is designed to help prepare and teach your child about the financial products they will need for different stages of their life. From their first debit card to a student line of credit, we are here to help them along their way!
We want to ensure that are ready to set up your account when you visit the branch, so it is best to reach out to us and book an appointment in advance. We will need you to bring along required identification and SIN numbers for both parent, guardian and youth.
Please contact us directly for identification requirements for the youth as they do vary based on their age and what documents you may have available.
A parent or guardian must be a joint account holder for youth under 12. Authorization/Indemnity Agreement or joint account ownership with parent or guardian is required for any youth from 12 -15. Identification requirements must be met.
Members under the age of 21 require a minimum of 1 share @ $5.00 to open an account.
Parents or guardians (21 years or older) require a minimum of 5 shares @ $5.00 per share or $25 to open an account.
Additional shares may be purchased – learn more
One of the core philosophies of the credit union movement is people helping people. We demonstrate this philosophy most often through our products, services, and commitment to financial education.
We provide free financial education tools and calculators, which include a series of videos that cover key financial concepts such as saving, investing, credit scores, credit building, debt consolidation, and more!

A third party is an individual or entity, other than the account holder or those authorized to give instructions about the account, who directs what happens with the account. For example, if an account were opened in one individual’s name for deposits that are directed by someone else, the other person or entity would be a third party.
