When a minor becomes an adult, they can become a member of UNFCU:
When a minor reaches the required age, we will send them instructions on how to become a member of UNFCU. They can also close their account(s) if they prefer. The former minor will have 60 days to complete their membership application or close their child/minor account(s). After 60 days, their access to the account(s) will be frozen. We will remove this freeze as soon as they complete their membership application or close their child/minor account(s).
With a Youth account, the minor can access the money in the account. For security, anyone with access to the account needs to present a valid form of identification.
All US financial institutions, including credit unions, must comply with the reporting rules of the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS). To report the correct information, we need to know if a member and account holder pays taxes in the US. Form W-8BEN should be completed by members and account holders who are not US taxpayers. Form W-9 is for US taxpayers.
For Custodial accounts, the custodian needs to sign the applicable tax forms. For Youth accounts, either the minor or the adult joint account holder can sign.
Save for your young family member’s future in an insured account that earns dividends.
