Headstart Account® - For members aged 13 to 17

The Headstart savings account is designed just for ECU's teenaged members. Whether you are depositing a birthday cheque, lawn mowing money or a paycheque from your first employer, Headstart members can expect their savings to grow quickly with this higher-interest, fee-free account. Headstart members really enjoy using their own ECU Member Card® to make ATM deposits, withdrawals and INTERAC® Direct Payment  purchases.


As a Headstart member, you will also have access to your account through the Internet and by phone, with free MemberDirect® access. MemberDirect provides account transaction history, account balance retrieval, the ability to transfer money between ECU accounts and much more!

Teens who are big savers can invest in GICs for a minimum $500 deposit, a really smart way to protect and nurture their long-term savings.

Headstart Account Details:

  • Interest is calculated daily and paid monthly.

  • Interest rate on the savings account is 1/2% higher than the basic rate paid on our Plan 24 adult account.

  • All transactions through the Headstart Account are processed free of charge.

  • Term deposits are available for a minimum of $500.

  • A Headstart Account holder may apply for a Member Card® with parental consent, which gives you access to your account at all Automated Teller Machines displaying The ACCULINK® Network, INTERAC® and THE EXCHANGE® symbols or for making INTERAC Direct Payment purchases.

  • A low cost Xtreme $ense Account for chequing purposes is available.
