Congrats Grad! Now that high school is over and you are planning on attending college, big changes will be happening to you and your family. It may be the first time you will live on your own, possibly even do your own laundry and for many, it will be the first time you will be managing your own finances. Sperry Credit Union understands this is a big step and wants to help you ease into this financial transition by planning ahead and taking charge of your money at this very exciting time in your life.
The first step is to open a Sperry eChecking and Savings account to help you track how much money you have and open the door to a wealth of other financial conveniences like ATM access and online banking. Be sure to ask about our pack of 50 checks for College students. You'll be able to write checks for rent or any other bills that may come up.
With your Checking Account you get a FREE Visa® Check Card! Use your check card to withdraw money at thousands of ATMs nationwide or make purchases anywhere Visa® is accepted and the money is automatically deducted from your Checking Account. Need cash quick? Get cash back at the checkout line when you buy groceries.
Access your account information, pay bills and balance your Checking Account 24 hours a day wherever you have internet access with FREE Online Banking, Online Bill Payment and eStatements. What's easier than that?
Did mom or dad send you a check? No problem. Visit one of our Credit Union Shared Branch locations. There are over 4,000 across the country where you can check balances, cash checks and make deposits, withdrawals or transfers. It's Sperry wherever you go!
It's time to make it big by being on your own. One important thing to do is to begin establishing credit. Credit Cards can be a good tool for establishing credit as long as you can afford the things you purchase and balances are paid off promptly. Your parent will co-sign the card with you until you are 21. This will give you a chance to learn how to use a credit card and establish a good credit rating. Credit Rating is an evaluation of a person that is based on their ability to pay past debts.
