From buying a home to starting a family, Burbank’s own UMe Credit Union is always there for their members during life’s biggest moments. For more than 80 years, the credit union has helped families grow and invested in the Burbank community. Now, in partnership with the City Treasurer of Burbank, when Burbank residents open a UMe Savings Account for their new baby, UMe will deposit $50 in their account to get them saving early.
“With growing families meeting so many financial demands today, saving money for the future can sometimes take a back seat,” says Anita Hutchinson, UMe Credit Union’s CMO and Vice President of Marketing. “But our new program for Burbank residents was created to help instill saving early, with a $50 deposit into a new savings account for each new bundle of joy. Think of it as our gesture to help your baby’s nest egg grow!”
“One of our goals is to promote financial education in our community and we are excited to partner with UMe to provide Burbank residents this opportunity to teach their children the value of saving at a young age,” says Krystle Palmer, Burbank’s City Treasurer. “More than just a bank account, an early focus on long-term savings promotes discipline and financial literacy, which will help our children become successful in the future.”
UMe believes that teaching children about the importance of saving early sets them up for savings success throughout their life. This new initiative is UMe’s way of further investing in the future of the Burbank community, and includes:
• $50 deposited into account*
• Membership fee waived
• No monthly fee
• Federally-insured up to $250,000 by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA)
All that’s required of you is:
• Membership application with Burbank address
• Baby’s Social Security Card
• $5 initial deposit
To open your new baby’s savings account, visit UMe’s happy home in the heart of Burbank at 3000 W. Magnolia Boulevard.
