Make Saving Fun for Your Kids

Participate in Sunward’s Saving Laboratory

Sunward's Savings Laboratory® program is an exciting way for kids 12 and younger to learn about saving money. The program teaches the importance and benefits of developing savings habits early by giving kids the opportunity to earn cool prizes. The Sunward Savings Laboratory offers four different prize options that can be earned after either 10 or 20 deposits of at least $5.

After 10 deposits, kids can choose one of the following prizes:

  • A $10 gift card to Barnes and Noble
  • A $10 gift card to Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt

Or kids can wait, make 20 deposits, and choose one of the following, bigger prizes:

  • A pair of Regal movie tickets
  • A $25 gift card to Barnes and Noble

Sunward encourages parents to bring their kids with them when completing their own transactional needs at branches so their children can start learning about financial transactions and establish a relationship with their Credit Union. By participating in the Savings Laboratory, kids learn to save money for their future through depositing into their savings accounts, collecting stickers, and redeeming notebooks for prizes.

Bring your child into any Sunward branch, call 505.293.0500 or 800.947.5328, or visit slfcu.org/SavingsLaboratory, to learn about fun ways you can help them save for their future.


Deposit must be made to a primary savings account (not a custodial account). Savings 0.20% APY as of 6/26/2019.
