Young Members Learn Saving Is Rewarding

Of all the accounts we may have in our lifetime, a savings account is typically the foundation. Saving for the future is about the long haul, and trying to teach that concept to young children can be a challenge. At Vantage, we want to encourage our youngest members that saving can be rewarding. That’s why we were honored to reward this year’s winners of our annual Holiday Savings Challenge with funds to continue to jumpstart their financial future.

During the month of November, members age 10 and under were automatically entered for a chance to win $25 when they deposited $5 or more into their Vantage savings account. And members ages 11 through 17 were entered for a chance to win $50 when they deposited $10 or more into their Vantage account. We randomly selected ten lucky members from each age group.

Check out this year's list of winners:

0 – 10 Winners: Maxwell E., Huntley S., Elijah S., Anthony R., Matthew R., Gloria H., Henry S., Dominick R., Milo K., and Caitlyn K.

11 – 17 Winners: Kalista R., Dantesha B., Bryson H., Abigail G., Breanna L., Michael M., Walter L., Maysen B., William S., and Autumn W.

Congratulations to all our Holiday Savings Challenge winners!
