Kids' Club

Money Doesn’t Grow on Trees…But do kids really understand how it does grow?  With the help of Mid-Illini Credit Union, you can teach your children the importance of savings.  It is a great habit to start young to help build a solid financial foundation for their future. MICU’s youth programs introduce kids to savings and checking accounts so they’ll become savvy financiers and learn the importance of saving and managing money. Unlike many institutions, MICU welcomes these accounts because your children are our partners too … and it is our mission to help all our partners understand their finances.

MILES Club (Mid-Illini Learning Early to Save)
MILES Club is a savings program for children up to age 12. Kids can open an account for as little as $5 and earn dividends once they reach a $100 balance. To help build their balance, we offer membership gift certificates. These are great gifts for birthdays or holidays.  So, ask Grams and Gramps, aunts and uncles to consider these as gifts.

New MILES Club members receive:

• A share in the credit union equal to Mom and Dad

• A membership card just like grownups

• A cool passbook

• Their very own "Moe the Zebra" beanie to take home!

Club members reaching the $500 milestone receive a cool prize and a handshake from our president, Tom Stewart. (Better call ahead for that.) Balances can be transferred to a Share Certificate for long-term goals. It’s never too early to save.
