It’s never too early to start saving
A savings account is the first step toward a lifetime of important financial responsibilities. Young children and teens have the opportunity to learn how a penny saved is a penny earned with an RBFCU Youth Savings account.
Youth Savings Account benefits and features:
No monthly service fees
Personalize savings accounts with your goals
Dividends paid monthly
Membership eligibility required. Accounts for minors require additional ownership by a parent, guardian or other adult.
Not a member?
If your child is not an RBFCU member yet, you can open an account for them (and yourself!) online. You can also join by calling us at 210-945-3300 or by visiting any RBFCU branch.
Already a member?
If you and your child are already RBFCU members, you can open an additional youth account for them by calling us at 210-945-3300 or by visiting any RBFCU branch.
Members are required to open a primary savings account with a minimum deposit of $1, which must remain in the account at all times. A $1 minimum balance is required to earn the stated Annual Percentage Yield (APY). A checking account can be opened with a zero balance.

Why do I have to qualify for membership?
Unlike banks that are open to anyone, laws require credit unions like RBFCU to have a defined field of membership, which means you have to be a member to access the products and services credit unions provide. There are a variety of ways to qualify based on where you work, live, worship or attend school. When you become a member of RBFCU, you take advantage of lower loan rates, higher dividends on deposits and lower fees.
