Young Investors StewardAccount®

Assist the children in your life in taking the first steps on their financial journey by starting early to build their accounts over time with a Young Investors (Y.I.) StewardAccount.

About the Y.I. StewardAccount

Starting your child’s financial journey early can make all the difference. Whether celebrating a new addition to the family or creating a lasting legacy for your grandchildren, the Y.I. StewardAccount offers a meaningful way to invest in their future.

This account grows with your young investor—building both their savings and their financial responsibility. By age 16, they can explore the freedom of a debit card and online account access (with custodian approval). Plus, high school seniors with a Y.I. StewardAccount can apply for the Take Heart Scholarship each February, giving them another step toward a bright future.

“Now that I’ve grown up, gotten married, my husband and I have started having children, we’re glad that that money can be in a place where it’s benefiting the church, and it’s benefiting our schools, and missions. And now that we have our children, we can get them started in the Young Investors accounts and just can continue to benefit the church.”
