Money 101:
Empower Your Kids with Financial Essentials
With school back in session, we’ve outlined our top tips to help you guide your little ones towards a financially savvy future:
Set a weekly allowance
Think about giving your child an allowance based on chores they do around the house, like taking out the trash, cleaning their room, or mowing the grass.
Give them a piggy bank
Consider giving your kids a clear piggy bank or jar so they can actually see their money grow.
Set a long-term goal
Help them set a savings goal for a fun purchase, like the newest video game.
Open a Youth Savings Account
With our Youth Savings Account for young members 12 years of age and under, parents and guardians can help teach the child in their life how to manage money with this starter account issued in the child’s name.
Maintain Your Lifestyle in Retirement
Planning for retirement may feel stressful, but ensuring a comfortable and secure future that aligns with your goals is essential. Your retirement plan should balance your needs, wants, and the reality of your finances.
To help you make the most of your retirement years, our Wealth Consultants, Adam and Michael, are sharing their top tips to get you on the right track.

Beware of Fraudulent Phone Calls
Phone scams are on the rise across Canada. Fraudsters are posing as representatives of WFCU and other financial institutions, often claiming to be from “Security” or “Fraud Investigation” departments. These are NOT legitimate WFCU employees, but skilled impersonators trying to trick you into sharing personal and banking information.
Remember, we will NEVER ask for:
