Benefits of saving with Jovia

Start saving with $5

We make it easy for you to start the kids in your life off saving - it only takes $5.00 to open an account. And, with our Dollar Dog Kids Club Account, we’ll match the first $5.00 deposited.*

Earn more interest

Dollar Dog Kids Club Accounts and Elements Teen Accounts earn a competitive 1% APY on their entire account balance.

Manage money anywhere, anytime

Kids and teens can access funds at branch locations or through Online and Mobile Banking – it’s easy and free. Plus, simplify savings and watch balances grow with automatic deposits or transfers.

Stash a little cash

With Jovia’s Stash My Cash feature, you can deposit the spare change from your Jovia debit card purchases right into their youth savings account. So, go ahead… get the latte and toss the change in the college fund.

Ready, set, start saving!

You can never be too young to begin saving. In fact, the sooner children open a youth savings account, the better their chances of learning good habits for saving money, as explained by Jo and her new assistant, Joseph. (And remember – his name is “Joseph.”)
