Student Accounts
From age 13 to 17
This account is designed to begin teaching youth how to prepare for financial independence. With adult consent, account holders can open a checking account, obtain an ATM card and make PIN-based transactions at merchants. At age 15, also with adult consent, they can open a share-secured credit card account in order to learn the critical skill of wisely managing credit and also build a credit history.
From age 18 to 21
All account options are available, and no parent or legal guardian is required. Account holders have the added ability to begin establishing accounts and services on their own. These accounts can also be accessed through the extensive "Shared Branch Network," enabling members to transact business in hundreds of branch facilities across the country and even internationally. This helps them to maintain the benefits of their SCCU membership while away at college or military service, or if they move to another area upon graduation.
