Although it seems a little early to talk about school, JACLCU VISA expert, Hope Tokunaga suggests parents consider getting their student a VISA Debit Card Checking Account with the option to access emergency cash. And now is a good time so you can teach them basic financial skills before school starts.
National JACL Credit Union offers a Checking Package to get students banking the right way. These days a cash (debit) card is the best way to give students access to their money and keep them in budget.
You can add a small “overdraft protection” or “line of credit” to give your student a few extra dollars if they need it for an emergency.
Don’t leave your student on his own without access to emergency funds. Call Hope and sign up for a Student Package today.
