The best time to learn good money management habits is when you’re young. Tower offers opportunities for young people of all ages to learn how to save money and manage their accounts. A lifetime of good financial decision-making starts here.
Parents or guardians can open a Prime Share account in their child’s name. To take advantage of compounding dividends, open a Share Certificate in your child’s name, too. The sooner you start setting money aside for your young savers, the more time it has to grow.
Club Accounts
As children get older, teach them how to save for the things they need or want with Tower’s “You Name It” and Holiday Club accounts. Seeing each deposit they make gets them closer to that new bike, tech gadget, or first concert ticket and introduces them to the habit of saving.

Whether you’re going to college or working full time, you could probably use a little help paying for things. Tower offers great rates and flexible terms to help you borrow affordably and build a strong credit history. The more carefully you manage your credit now, the easier it will be to secure a loan in the future (like a mortgage for your first home).
Tower offers young adults:
- Mastercard® credit card options with low rates and convenient online statements
- Personal Line of Credit to give you easy access to additional funds when you need them
- Education Loans to help you pay for college
- Auto Loans with up to 100% financing
If you are earning money, now is also the right time to start saving for retirement. It might seem like a long time away, but the sooner you start saving, the more money you’ll earn thanks to compounding dividends. See our IRA options.
