Junior Saver Account
Start saving for your little one today!
For children, saving money in a credit union is a real benefit and also teaches them the value of credit unions which are run by the community, for the community. We want to help prepare our junior savers for a positive financial future, and Arklow Credit Union will be there for them in the future, for whatever financial assistance they might need.
It's never too early to start saving.

Couple of Savings Tips:
- Help your children set savings goals
- Giving pocket money as small change makes it easier for children to save
- Encourage savings: Reward good behaviour, consider matching their savings if the item they are saving for is exceptionally pricey.
- Having a Credit Union account will help children to start saving their own pot of gold
- Encourage children to save regularly, and advise them not to impulse buy
The Credit Union have also partnered with educational company Twinkl, to provide free, educational resources for children in primary school, called ‘Start Money Smart’ specifically focused on finance and money. All the materials are available for parents and teachers to download on https://www.twinkl.ie
