A Youth Account is a smart way for children to take their first step towards successful money management.
By belonging to Rhode Island Credit Union, children become eligible for a large variety of products and services throughout their lifetime. Starting an account at a young age gives children the perfect opportunity to learn first-hand about the importance of managing money.
