Light-Bulb Moment: Savings Goals Help Kids Learn How to Save

Whether they are saving for a Lego set, a new gaming system, or a trip to their favorite amusement park, you can help them get started by setting a savings goal in the UECU Mobile Banking App. Log into their account together, scroll down to the Savings Goal tile and select Create a Savings Goal. Next, select the savings account and then pick what they are saving for. If what they want is not listed, select other and enter a description. After that, select the amount and the desired target date, and then Create Savings Goal. When you are finished, you’ll see a new custom tile for Your Savings Goal on the mobile dashboard. You can set up an automatic transfer into the savings account or simply click on the transfer button on the tile to make a transfer anytime. You can even transfer a portion of their weekly allowance to help them reach their goal!
