We reward young people saving money.

Everyone wants their children to study hard and learn the importance of saving and spending money wisely. At UniWyo Credit Union we help teach these things in a lighter, more fun way. Our youth savings accounts feature a lot of fun stuff - like prizes for deposits, rewards for good grades, and an extra five bucks on each birthday.

WyoWrangler Savings Accounts for Kids

One Cowboy Buck can be earned for every deposit made. The Bucks are then used to purchase items from the UniWyo WyoShop.
There is an annual birthday match of $5. A coloring page is mailed to the young person. After they color it in, they can bring it in to any UniWyo branch and we will match up to a $5 deposit.

_{*Bonuses may be provided on eligible Youth Accounts. An eligible Youth Account is a WYO Cash Account or WYO Wrangler Account in which the primary account holder is under the age of 18. The primary account holder must meet all other membership requirements. There is no time requirement to earn bonuses. Bonuses will vary throughout the term of the account and vary by the member's participation. Eligible Youth Accounts may receive a 0.50% Annual Percentage Yield (APY) rate increase in addition to the currently listed rate for Share Certificates. Promotional/Special Share Certificates are not eligible for the special 0.50% APY rate increase. Additionally, all Share Certificates purchased under eligible Youth Accounts may have additional deposits to them throughout the term of the Certificate. Both the offers of the 0.50% APY bonus and the ability to make additional deposits to Certificate accounts are only available to the primary account holder of an eligible Youth Account. All Certificate accounts purchased under a Youth Account will not be eligible for auto renewal after the Youth Account holder has reached the age of 18.}
