Savings clubs for kids have always been a popular offering for financial institutions. More and more organizations are recognizing the benefits of such programs:
- Kids often stay with the same institution where they first begin to save
- More frequent visits by parents provide increased opportunities to sell more products and services
At the same time, kids’ saving clubs are becoming more and more substantial. Many of today’s clubs include characters, songs, games, other activities, and marketing materials. Here are just a few we’ve found. Please let us know of any other clubs available to financial institutions.
Dollar Dog Kids Club
