Teaching Kids & Teens About Money

Teaching kids and teens about money can be easy with help from Sunward. From youth accounts to free education for teens, we’ve provided recommendations to help teach money management at any age.

Sunward suggests setting a savings goal of $1,000 by age 18. As a young adult, your child will need to establish credit, and $500 can secure a guaranteed loan, with no credit history needed. It’s also a great way to start building emergency savings. Broken into small, regular deposits, this goal is easily achievable. Saving just $10 a month starting at age 5 adds up to $1,000 well before age 18 – and that doesn’t even include the dividends paid on the account.

Open the age ranges below for Sunward products and services that can help your child build a bright financial future.
