We're Celebrating Youth Month

This April, we’re celebrating National Credit Union Youth Month at Delta Community. One of the most valuable lessons that we can teach our children is how to save and spend wisely. It’s never too early (or too late) to start saving.

To celebrate Youth Month, open a Youth Savings Account for the child in your life and we’ll match the opening deposit up to $100. 4 Youth members who visit a branch to make a deposit in April will also receive a free gift while supplies last. You can also help your teen prepare for the future by providing the financial tools they need to succeed. Delta Community Checking Accounts and Debit Cards are available to members between the ages of 16 and 17 years old with an adult Joint Owner.
