I’ve had an account since I was a kid and it has always been a pleasant experience. The staff are always helpful. When I needed to buy a car, I got my loan done the same day!

Youth savings questions, answered.

Who can open a youth savings account?

A parent or legal guardian can open a Linden Youth Savings account.

What do I need to open an account?

If the person you’re opening the account for isn’t already a Linden member, please bring a document that confirms their identity (like a Social Security card). We’ll open their membership, and Youth Savings will be their primary savings account until they turn 18.

Can family members add money to the account?

Of course! Parents, grandparents, other relatives, and friends can deposit money anytime.

Can my child take money out of their account?

It depends on the child’s age and how the account is set up. Parents or legal guardians typically need to approve withdrawals for children under 18, but we can set up the account to your preferences.

Wherever you’re starting, we’ll start there with you.
