Tips for Parents
Talk to Them
One of the most important things you can do to teach your child financial responsibility is to talk to them about money. Take some time each month to look over their finances together. Discuss areas of spending, saving, and goals for the next month.
Fraud
It's important to discuss the dangers of fraud. Talk to your teens about the importance of keeping their account secure, and rest easy knowing their account is covered by Visa's $0 fraud liability feature.
Setup Direct Deposit
If your teen is employed, have them setup direct deposit to make sure their paycheck makes it into the bank each month. Using direct deposit is a great way for your teen to see how much money they are earning verses how much they are spending.
E-Services
Teach your teen how to use all facets of their checking account including online and mobile banking. The BHFCU Mobile App is the most convenient way for your teen to check balances, pay bills, and make deposits. It's an all in one budgeting tool! Get them in the habit of checking their account several times a week.
