Amplify your funds with the perfect blend of a Checking account and Money Market Account.

Checking accounts are a great way to introduce your child to financial responsibility through budgeting and money management.

Why an AlaTrust Kids Debit Card?

  • Parents can control the card from our Card Command App, allowing them to turn it on and off whenever needed
  • Using AlaTrust to store their fund allows the money to be insured and backed by the NCUA. Other Kids Apps, Debit, and Cash cards that are not with a legal credit union or bank do not have these same protections in place.
  • Easily transfer money to and from your child’s account

Eligibility: Children aged 8 and older are eligible to open a checking account with us. However, parental/grandparent consent is required, and the parent/grandparent must be eligible for the account based on their credit score.
