Patch The Pirate Welcomes You To The New Thrifty Club

It's a great time to be a member of AMFCU's Thrifty Club, a special club for children ages twelve and under.

Patch the Pirate is our mascot, and he wants to make savings fun. Every time a young member makes a deposit of $1 or more they will receive a prize from Patch's Treasure Chest. There will also be a quarterly drawing for members that have made at least five deposits of $1 or more during the quarter. The winner will have $20 deposited into their account.

Patch also has a 12-month Certificate of Deposit just for Thrifty Club members that can be opened with as little as $100. Since the money has been promised to AMFCU for one year, Patch will pay a higher rate of interest. This means Thrifty Club members will make extra money, adding to their treasures.

Thrifty Club members will receive a newsletter twice a year from Patch, as well as receive a birthday card on their birthday. Thrifty Club also has events just for our members including Youth Savings Week, Halloween activities, and a visit from Santa.

Thrifty Club is a fun and adventurous way to save. It's important for children of all ages to learn the fundamentals of financial management. This program is designed to teach today's youth the merits of saving their money. Children build responsible, life long money management habits by:

• Watching their savings grow
• Making basic financial transactions
• Learning the value of saving
