Teach Your Child About Banking


If only it were as easy as a certain real estate board game – but banks can seem complicated to grown-ups, let alone kids. When your child is ready to open his/her first account, take them on a field trip to your bank or credit union. A personal banker can help you explain how a bank stores money, what interest is and how deposits/withdrawals work.

You can also introduce the two primary bank accounts – savings and checking – and how each functions. Grab your checkbook and walk your child through how to fill out a check, show them how a debit card works, and teach them how to keep an account balance up to date (overdrafts are no fun).

Banks and credit unions are an important part of everyday life, so here’s some more information about how they operate:
