So you got a job and are about to get your first paycheck. What are you going to do with all that extra cash? Maybe you'll buy some clothes, video games, pay your cell phone bill, or spend some hanging out with your friends on your day off. What about prom in the spring; your senior trip; a car; or having money for college?

In order to get the bigger things, you'll need to save. And let's face it, that old piggy bank you got as a kid just isn't big enough anymore. OECU offers special accounts for young adults just like you. It doesn't matter if you get money from a job, allowance, or even a gift from your Aunt. You can open an account with us and have a place to put your cash while you're saving up. Don't know how credit unions work? That's okay. We'll give you some ideas on how to manage your money the right way so you can still have fun now and have money saved for the things you want later.
