It’s never too early to start banking smarter.
Recent studies have shown that America's youth need expertise and guidance when it comes to saving, budgeting, and basic money management.
Good money habits don’t form out of thin air—they have to be learned. Like academics, providing strong building blocks at an early age helps ensure success. To start our younger members on the path to financial wellness sooner, BayPort offers an entire suite of youth-focused programs, student resources, and educational tools.

Reality Fair
Using the Bite of Reality® app, this interactive event gives teens a taste of financial realities. They’ll learn how to make good financial decisions and understand the challenges of living on a budget. Teens are given an occupation, credit score, family, and debt, and experience “purchasing” housing, cars, food, and other expenses.

Fun & Student-Run Credit Union Programs
We’ve partnered with over 50 SRCUs to open a fully functioning BayPort branch inside local elementary, middle, and high schools. Students serve as tellers and receive hands-on experience performing all kinds of credit union duties from accepting applications to processing deposits. The branch is a convenient place for students and faculty to bank.
