Start a School Bank with FDIC-Insured Saving Deposits
School Savings credits deposits electronically avoiding manual posting.
Overview
School Savings is a cooperative venture between a local financial institution and it's community schools. The financial institution provides the free saving account and student incentives while the school's PTA/PTO group manages the school banking process. School Savings provides the online deposit software and electronically credits the students' accounts through the Federal Reserve Bank.
