Kids bank account opening event March 29, 2024

Friday, March 29, 12-3 p.m., Mayor Neeley is presenting an opportunity for Flint kids to open bank accounts in partnership with Financial Plus Credit Union, located at 3381 Van Slyke Rd.

Kids up to 17 years old can participate. Kids will be able to go in a money machine and add any cash they catch to their savings accounts. All Kids Club Savings Accounts receive a $10 deposit courtesy of Financial Plus.

To sign up for a bank account, child’s and parent/guardian’s social security numbers and parent/guardian driver’s license/Michigan ID with current address are required.

Mayor Neeley has been visiting classrooms weekly to deliver piggy banks and financial literacy lessons to Flint children. He has encouraged classrooms of children to work together to fill up every classmate’s piggy bank. When children fill up these piggy banks and open a bank account, they will receive an additional $5 from Mayor Neeley and an additional $5 from Financial Plus.
