TOP Star Youth Accounts

TOPCU’s TOP Star program is designed to give our youngest members a good start with developing money skills and habits that can serve them well into adulthood. Our young members are encouraged to enhance their knowledge of banking and financial services, and to build a solid foundation of financial responsibility for their future. Additional banking products, such as debit and credit cards, can be added along the way. As they grow, their TOPCU account can grow with them!
