It’s like a fraternity, without the hangover

We thought long and hard about what we can do for college students and young professionals. Your needs are different, you’ve got college debts you want to pay off, you shouldn’t be paying fees for no reason, and you’re ready to invest and make some money. The result is our College and Careers Account that lets you take advantage of every benefit available to you from Meritrust Credit Union.

Here’s what we came up with. We think you’ll love it:

• Dividends are calculated on average daily balances above $100 and are compounded and paid monthly.
• You get a newsletter via e-mail or regular mail four times a year.
• You can join our Young Investors and Entrepreneurs Club to network and meet others like you.
• A minimum balance of just $25 is required to keep your College and Careers account open.

What’s up with the newsletter?

You’re young and figuring out what you’re going to do with your life, your career, your money. Meritrust can help you plow through the nonsense and figure out stuff like:

• How much does it really cost when you buy a car? Beyond the sticker price, what are the hidden costs you should know before facing off with the car dealer?
• Want to invest in the stock market? We’ll help you invest like a pro from day one.
• Retirement seems a long way off, but if your current employer has a 401k plan, you’ve got to participate. Learn why and all the tricks to make sure your retirement is in the Bahamas and not working as a store greeter.
• Ready to purchase your first house? We’ll show you what you need to do to save cash and protect yourself in today’s explosive market.
• Have a question, opinion, or bright idea? Shoot us an e-mail because we’ll feature comments from members like you in each edition.

The Young Investors and Entrepreneurs Club

It’s a fancy name for something that’s real simple. If you’re a young investor or just want to own your own business, we’ve put together a place to network, learn, and make some smart acquaintances all at the same time. We get together four times a year, have guest speakers and dream up entertaining opportunities to meet other young professionals like yourself. Don’t worry, no one will call you a yuppie.
