You don't have to keep your money in a "piggy bank" any
longer. Or, you don't have to hide it in a drawer, sock, shoe or
some other secret hiding
place.
Now you can have a Savings Passbook Account just like an adult!
A real savings account in a real bank. Citizens Bank can be YOUR
bank too.
Every time you put money in your bank, it is called a deposit.
Every time you take money out, it is called a withdrawal. The passbook
you will receive will show the new amount in your account, and that is called
your balance.
Good savers like to make deposits. But, they don't like to make
withdrawals unless the money is needed for something really important.
Like in-line skates, a bike or a present. Or, you might want to
keep the money for something really important like college, a car,
or a house.
As you save, you will earn interest. That's money the bank will
add to your account--just because you keep your money in the bank!
Really good savers can earn a lot of interest.
You can look at your balance in your passbook anytime you want.
That will make you feel good. Especially when your balance grows.
Sometimes your balance might grow faster than you if you are a really
good saver.
Opening your savings account at Citizens Bank is easy. A parent
or guardian will have to come in the bank with you and sign on the
account with you. We will also need your signature (if you are old
enough to do so), and we will want to know your Social Security
number.
You must be 12 years old or younger to open a LITTLE
CITIZENS SAVINGS ACCOUNT and you will need $5.00 for
your first deposit. And, it can be nickels, dimes and quarters -
or even pennies!
There are no minimum balance fees applied to your LITTLE
CITIZENS SAVINGS ACCOUNT, although there are limitations
to the amount of withdrawals you can make in a
one-month period.
If you already have a savings account with us, let us know. We
will sign you up.
