  • Checking Accounts: (Available for ages 11+)
    Checking accounts help kids learn healthy money habits with the ability to have a debit card. As your child grows, they will learn how to manage, save, and spend. Jovia checking accounts have no monthly fees or minimum balance requirements. You can even access your cash at over 55,000 surcharge-free ATMs.

Are you ready? Here we go!

We respect privacy and online protection for children and their parents. The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") requires us to inform parents and legal guardians about how we collect, use, and disclose personal information about children under 13 years of age; and that we obtain the consent of a parent (or guardian) to allow the collection of that information. We only collect the amount of personal information which is reasonably necessary to allow a child’s participation in a credit union program or contest. We do not solicit nor collect identifiable personal information directly from children. We do not enable children to make their personal information publicly available. From time to time, we do sponsor contests, or ask for articles written by children or offer prizes. For these events, we do collect information, but we only do so if the child’s parent or guardian has consented to our collecting, or has directly submitted, the information. The types of information we may collect are a child’s first name, age, videos, photographs and voice recordings, written articles and drawings. We may display this information in our marketing or promotional efforts. We may share the information with selected third parties who provide services and products to or for credit unions and credit union members unless the parent instructs us not to do so. The security, integrity and confidentiality of a child's personal information are extremely important to us. Part of our procedures to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of personal information is that we never display a child’s last name, date of birth, phone number, address, city, or state. In addition, we have implemented technical, administrative, and physical security measures that are designed to protect information from unauthorized access, disclosure, use and modification. From time to time, we review our security procedures to consider appropriate new technology and methods. However, you should understand that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. If we have collected personal information on a child, that child’s parent or legal guardian may contact the Credit Union at any time, to review what has been collected or to direct the deletion of the information or to tell us to stop any further collection or use of that information.
