The holiday season is upon us – a time for joy, giving and meaningful connections with loved ones. While toys and gadgets often top the wish lists, there’s a unique gift that grows in value long after the wrapping paper is cleared away: a high-yield savings account.
This year, consider opening a First Savings account from First Fed for your children – a gift that plants the seeds of financial security and independence.
A First Savings account is more than just a place to store money; it’s a tool that teaches kids the value of saving and compound interest. With competitive interest rates, this account helps their savings grow faster than with traditional savings options. Starting young allows your children to see the tangible benefits of financial planning, setting them up with skills that will last a lifetime.
Designed especially for children 17 and younger, setting up a First Savings account for your kid is simple and rewarding. With a minimum balance requirement as low as $1, this account is accessible to everyone.
Parents can even make the initial deposit as part of the gift, perhaps including a note encouraging their children to dream about how they’ll use their savings – whether for a bike, a college fund or a future adventure. It’s also a great place for kids to deposit other gifts of money they may receive from friends and family.

In addition to the financial benefits, this gesture offers a chance to bond as a family. Use the opportunity to sit down with your kids and discuss setting savings goals, tracking progress, and celebrating milestones. It’s a way to give not just money, but also the priceless gift of financial literacy.
This holiday season, swap one toy for a timeless gift. A First Savings account from First Fed is a present that grows with your child, teaching them responsibility, fostering independence, and securing their future.
