Bonus Program
Banzai Bonus Program
for 8-17 year olds
Help your kids gain responsibility and make good decisions!
Kids, teens and tweens (ages 8-17) who have an Armco Youth Savings Account are eligible to earn bonus money when they complete our online financial literacy course.
Earn $50 in bonus money by completing the age appropriate Banzai course.* As your teen ages into the next age group, they are eligible to receive another $50 in bonus money when they complete the next age-appropriate course.
There are three Banzai courses. Each is intended for a specific age.
Banzai is our award-winning web-based financial education partner. They offer three educational courses as well as articles, personal coaches and financial calculators. All members of your family are welcome to use Banzai’s resources!
To earn the $50 bonus money,
You must complete your age appropriate course. Each course contains a pretest, interactive game and post-test. Once you complete a course, you will receive a Certificate of Completion. Redeem the certificate at Armco CU and we’ll deposit $50 into your Youth Savings Account*. UTMA accounts are not eligible to receive bonus money.
The courses are web-based and may be completed on any device (desktop, tablet or smart phone). The course saves progress, so kids and teens may work at their own pace.
