This year’s theme, “Unleash the Power of Saving,” encourages kids to develop healthy saving habits by making it fun and exciting. If you have been wondering how to empower your kids to save for their future, National Credit Union Youth Month is a great opportunity to start! Here are the ways Royal is celebrating in April: Kid’s Club All Royal Members 12 years old and under are automatically enrolled in Kid’s Club, which makes them eligible for prizes and invitations to exclusive Kid’s Club events. During the month of April any new savings account opened for children 12 years old and younger will have the initial $5.00 deposited by Royal. Only one savings account per person is allowed. Kid’s Club Members earn stamps on their Super Saver card when they make a deposit. From April 17 to April 22, all Kid’s Club Members will receive double the stamps for “Double Stamp Week.” Starting April 3, Kid’s Club Members can visit any Royal location to sign up to win a “Unleash the Power of Saving” gift basket.
