Parents who want their teens to get a head start on financial independence and planning for the future may take part in Hawai‘i Community Federal Credit Union’s (HCFCU) National Credit Union Youth Month events.  All of HCFCU’s branches will encourage youth to open savings accounts and to make deposits by offering a range of fun family events. Every new youth account opened, or a deposit into a current youth account, includes an automatic entry to win a range of grand prizes.  For more information visit www.HiCommFCU.com, email youthmonth@hicommfcu.com or call (808) 930-7700.

“A 2017 national survey found that almost 60% of Americans have less than $1,000 in savings, and almost 40% had none,” said HCFCU Youth Services Coordinator Kristy Akao.  “These events, along with our high school credit unions, help keiki and teens understand the importance of being in charge of their money.”

 HCFCU’s Youth Month event schedule and locations are as follows:

Honoka‘a Branch:

  • Wednesday, April 18, 2 to 4 p.m.: Face Painting, Refreshments, and a Create-A-Bank Contest! (submit entries by April 27)
