WICHITA, Kan. – Students at Southeast High School can open a savings or checking account, use their debit card or apply for a zero-interest laptop loan at school, thanks to the city’s first in-school credit union branch opened by Credit Union of America.
The credit union’s new Buffalo Branch is named for the school's mascot and is providing students with credit cards featuring the mascot.
Students 15 and older can open a savings account with as little as $5. Most other accounts, including checking and debit savings accounts, require a parent or guardian's signature.
Students 16 and older can start a checking account without a parent or guardian's signature if they complete an online tutorial and pass a test.
