What is needed to open a Cub Account?

We want to help kids develop smart, healthy financial habits, so we make it easy to open a Cub Account at PCU. Just have the following during account opening:

Adult: A parent, guardian, or adult relative must be present to open a Cub Account in any of our local branches.
Identification: We'll ask for the child's personal information, including their social security number. As joint owner, you'll also need your photo ID.
Deposit: Our Cub Account only requires a $5 minimum opening balance!

FAQs About Cub Account

What happens to a Cub Account once the kid turns 11?

Once the kid turns 11, the money in their Cub Account will be transferred into a Youth Savings Account. Then, when the minor turns 18, the money in their Youth Savings Account will be transferred into a Primary Share Savings Account and their Youth Savings Account will be closed.

With their own Primary Share Savings Account, they will gain access to all the valuable products and services we offer that help our members reach goals at various life stages.

Is there a minimum account balance for a Cub Account?

Yes, there is a minimum $5.00 membership deposit to open and maintain a Cub Account.

Can you open a Cub Account online?

No, a Cub account cannot be opened online. Please contact a PCU Member Advisor to open this particular account. You'll need the child's personal information, including their Social Security Number.

How can I contribute to my child/grandchild's savings?

As a joint owner on the account, you have the option to set up recurring deposits and help them save. You could also visit the credit union each month to make a deposit together!

DISCLOSURES

The Cub Savings Account is only available to children ages 10 and younger. When the account owner reaches 11 years old, the Cub account will automatically be converted to a Youth Savings Account.
