Start Teaching Good Habits Early
The Montgomery Bank Kid’s Club Account is a special savings account for children 12 and under, with the goal of teaching good financial habits by making saving fun.
In addition to being a great way for your kids to learn about banking in general, Kid’s Club Accounts are an excellent way to save for your child’s future. They’re a perfect place to start a college fund, or you can use it as an opportunity to teach kids how to save up for a special purchase—like a gaming system or a special trip.
Benefits
Kids Club accounts receive a special 5.01% annual percentage yield, up to the first $500 saved.
Monty says, “Our interest rate means that in one year, you’ll earn an extra 5 cents for every dollar you save in your account!”
Special Features
Your child will also receive their own Pass Book, where they can record deposits and watch their balance grow over time. When your child’s account balance reaches $100, they’ll get an adorable plush Monty dog to take home with them. Plus they’ll receive birthday and holiday greetings from Monty, and invitations to special Kid’s Club events.
