This youth account is sure to wow!
It’s saving time! ēCO prioritizes financial education and saving for all generations, and we feel it’s never too early to start! Our youth accounts are designed to help kids and teens save in a responsible and fun way, while also earning some super sweet perks.
Saving Stars Account
ēCO’s Saving Stars Account is available to teach your kids the meaning behind “with great power comes great responsibility”; thanks, Spiderman.
The power of financial responsibility lies within our youth, so we are asking kids from birth to age eighteen to assemble! “We have the power” to stop the forces of debt, overspending, over-borrowing, and all other financial irresponsibility. Together, we can make the world more financially responsible, one kid at a time!
The Saving Stars account is designed to meet the needs of your children as they grow. The savings account earns competitive dividends, while teaching kids the importance of saving for the future.
