Learning to bank young and bank smart

On April 8, 2008, a representative from Capital Communications Federal Credit Union, Carrie Tonner, visited the students at Page Avenue School. She introduced the students to "Bank Young. Bank Smart. (Age 13 – 18)!"

Ms. Tonner advised the students to begin thinking about their financial future. She discussed savings accounts, checking accounts, debit cards and budgets. She also explained to them the difference between a bank and credit union. The students were interested to learn how they can make their savings grow.

All of the students were invited to open a savings account with Capital Communications Credit Union when they open their new branch in Cohoes.
