Consumers Professional
Credit Union will be at
ICA every Monday for
students to make their
savings account deposits. If your student
does not have a savings
account at this time,
they can open accounts
on Monday. This is a
great way for students
to learn how to save.
This also saves parents
time as all you have to
do is send the money
with your student on
Monday. No need to
stop by the bank.
