Through our free workshops members learn practical tips on how to reach goals and improve their personal finances.

Elevate Your Financial Future

Smart saving is the new trend. Youth Elevation empowers parents to teach financial wisdom that lasts a lifetime.

Some young people want to grow up to be astronauts. Others want to be doctors, teachers, police officers, or clothing designers. But, no matter how they earn their living, your son or daughter will need to know how to manage their money. At Summit Credit Union, we're happy to help them get started on that journey.

Your $5.00 on deposit in your savings account means you own one share of the Credit Union and are a part owner with full voting rights.

If your savings balance falls below the $5.00 requirement, you will need to make a deposit to bring the balance back to $5.00 to maintain your membership.
