Each year we offer great gifts to students when school begins to help kids and young students begin a regular savings plan with BDC. We help you set weekly or monthly savings goals, and we help you watch your savings grow.
Our Kids Club teaches good financial habits as well as responsibility tips your parents will appreciate.
All our Kids Club members are encouraged to do their homework and do their best to get good grades in school. Each time your parent, a grandparent or family friend makes a Great Report Card deposit to your Kids Club account, we add another dollar to your account.
We want Our BDC Kids to learn the importance of studying, and saving, because they are both important to your future.
Start off now on the right foot by beginning to save the money you earn. You have to Save First. It simply doesn't work to spend what you want and "save the rest." Ask adults who have learned the hard way, there is never anything left. You must learn to Save First.
You can start now with our simple No Minimum Balance Savings Account.
It will begin building good credit and help prepare you for the future.
We also offer internet access checking and other convenient services. Start now and get to know us, and learn why The BDC Difference can begin now.
We have a special program of services just for our college students. We include an internet accessed checking account that includes a VISA Check card with ATM Cash advances, an overdraft protection savings account and a "begin building your credit rating" VISA Credit Card subject to approval.

Where do young people and students get most of their financial advice? We know, from their parents, and grandma, and probably Uncle Bob, too.
Why not ask your banker? We like to say it this way: If you are sick you go see a doctor. If the car doesn't run you take it to a car mechanic. So, if you have financial questions, ask your banker. Helping people with their financial needs and questions is what we do every day. We help our customers learn the ropes for financial success.
