Youth Accounts

Offering financial solutions for children and teens, promoting financial literacy in a fun and safe environment. Explore our range of accounts designed to instill smart money habits from an early age.

Start Saving Early!

American Heritage is fully committed to helping your child gain important financial literacy skills through workshops, in-branch Teller interactions, and even an account of their own. By introducing age-appropriate, real-life skills, your child can master healthy money habits before they even start their first job.

Children as young as 5 years old have been reported to have an emotional reaction to spending and saving money [1]. These emotional reactions shape financial behaviors in adolescence and adulthood, proving that it's never too early or too late to begin discussing healthy habits. Let every day be a lesson for your child and help them experience the rewards of saving, beyond the piggy bank!
