Consumers Credit Union is excited to launch a brand-new program to promote and reward youth savings: the Wimee Kids’ Savings Club.

Featuring our best robot friend, Wimee, this new program is a fun and engaging way for kids to learn about money and build their savings at the same time.

Upon opening a youth savings account*, kids under the age of 12 are able to earn prizes as they create savings habits. Here’s how to get started:

Open a Youth Savings Account

Stop by any Consumers office to open a youth account* with your child’s Social Security number and a minimum $5 deposit.

Once you’ve opened your account, select a Consumers piggy bank, and pick up your Wimee Kids’ Savings Club card to track deposits and prizes earned.

Current youth members under the age of 12 can still earn Wimee prizes, too, starting with their first new deposit in 2023.

Start Saving to Earn Prizes

With each sequential in-office deposit, your little saver will earn a prize, including:

• 1^st Deposit – Wimee Kids’ Savings Club Sticker
• 2^nd Deposit – A copy of the Wimee’s Dreams children’s book
• 3^rd Deposit – Wimee plush toy

“We are thrilled with our Wimee partnership and know kids are learning how to save through Wimee’s videos and fun,” said Consumers President & CEO Scott Sylvester.” Wimee will be visiting our offices and helping families learn together.”

“The Money Minutes with Wimee and Friends video series has already impacted countless children and families on the importance of financial literacy,” said Michael Hyacinthe, CEO and founder of Wimage. “We are so excited to continue that outreach and education with Consumers through the Wimee Kids’ Savings Club!”
