The Educational Federal Credit Union (EdFed) hosted nearly 60 children and their families at two Kids Savings Account Enrollment events this summer.
Held on July 27 and August 3, the events provided children with the opportunity to open their first savings account during an afternoon filled with fun activities and entertainment designed to promote the importance of saving money.
“As the credit union for the educational community, we want to help children start saving early and get on the path to a brighter financial future,” said Christa Dotson Dean, EdFed’s Director of Member Outreach. “These events not only made it easy for kids to open an account but also created a memorable experience with a special magic show and an exciting visit by our mascot, Eddy the Owl,” she added.
The events were open to both existing EdFed members and residents of the community who joined the credit union during their visit. Sehrish Dyal participated in the event at EdFed’s Kendall branch with her 4-year old daughter.
“She was looking forward to saving her money, which we talk about a lot. I thought this would be a great opportunity for her. All the money she gets from her birthday gifts, it’s like, let’s go ahead and save it and put it in the credit union,” said Dyal. “Seeing Eddy the Owl made her day,” Dyal continued.
Founded in 1935 by school employees in Miami, EdFed operates eight branches in South Florida and serves over 100,000 members across the United States.
Christine Dillon attended the event at EdFed’s new Miramar Park Place branch and spoke about how EdFed membership has become a tradition in her family.
“My dad was a teacher for many years. He opened our accounts here, and now I’m opening accounts for my kids,” said Dillon. “Nothing compares to EdFed with how friendly everybody is, how accessible they are, and how they take care of us; it has always been a smooth process,” she added.
