Directions Credit Union realizes it is never too early to teach kids to be financially responsible. The MyLife savings products are great ways to help kids learn the basics of healthy saving and spending.

Throughout the year, we offer games and contests, along with appearances by "Sparkles" our mascot to make saving with us fun and interesting.

With every deposit, kids can pick a prize from the prize chest.

Directions Credit Union wants to help kids build a solid foundation for their future...whatever direction it may take.

The following links provide information to help parents make better financial decisions for their children, ages 0 to 12:
