Information for Parents

A child or teen can open an account at New Mexico Educators Federal Credit Union with only $5 -- the first step, we hope, to future financial savvy. We also provide:

• Checking and Visa® Debit Cards*
• First car financing*
• Coverdell Education Savings Accounts*
• Individual Retirements Accounts (IRAs)*

*Accounts for youth under 18 require parental authorization and signature. Parents are co-owners of the accounts.

In an effort to teach kids -- the adult spenders and money managers of tomorrow  about personal finance, New Mexico Educators Federal Credit Union provides a number of products and services that help young people -- and their parents -- manage their money and prepare for the future.

New Mexico Educators Federal Credit Union:

• regularly visits local middle and high schools to present money management seminars to students.
• provides a high school financial planning curriculum from the National Endowment for Financial Education to local teachers at no charge.
• offers an educational CD-ROM financial program from Visa® for middle and high school students.
• presents evening seminars for teens and younger children.
  
   

The bottom line on financial education is that it works to help children live better lives as adults.
