Credit Union will deposit the first $5 during week of April 21 -26

MANCHESTER, NH – At St. Mary’s Bank, the nation’s first credit union, it’s never too early to start saving.

That’s why on April 21, St. Mary’s Bank is launching its brand new Super Saver Kids’ Club, a program specifically geared for children ages 12 and under. Every child who opens a Super Saver Kids’ Club Account during the week of April 21 – 26 will receive their first deposit of $5 from St. Mary’s Bank, plus a free plush Super Saver dog.

The benefits of the Super Saver Kids’ Club don’t stop there. Kids can also register to receive the Super Saver newsletter, visit the Kids’ Zone on www.stmarysbank.com/kids and be the first to know about Super Saver events featuring the club’s mascot.

“Our Super Saver Kids’ Club offers children a fun and engaging way to start learning an important life skill,” said Elizabeth Stodolski, vice president, director of marketing for St. Mary’s Bank. “The more kids understand about saving and managing money now, the better the payoff is later, for both children and their parents.”

St. Mary’s Bank’s Super Saver Kids’ Club Account offers no minimum daily balance, no fees, pays interest, and is available in passbook or monthly statement.

April 21 also marks the start of National Credit Union Youth Week, a celebration designed to encourage children to start saving at their local credit union.

“Each year, National Credit Union Youth Week gives credit unions throughout the country the opportunity to get young members excited about saving money,” said Phil Heckman, Credit Union National Association Director of Youth Programs. “It’s the perfect way to kick-start the savings habits of the next generation.”

St. Mary’s Bank, which is also celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, has locations in Manchester, Hudson, Londonderry, Milford and Nashua.

“Everyone at St. Mary’s is excited about helping kids get a head start on saving. Our branch staff are standing by to help children open a Super Saver account,” said Stodolski. “For us, it’s gratifying to see the satisfaction on a child’s face when they see their very own account start to grow.”
