Saving for a Minor
If you would like to set up an account for a minor and want to limit access until the child becomes 21 years old, setting up a Uniform Transfer to Minors Act (UTMA) account can be a good option. While the tax income is reported under the minor’s tax identification number, the custodian retains control of the account until the account becomes available to the child once they turn 21. Additional benefits on the account can create a tax-advantaged* way to contribute to a minor’s savings.
A UTMA account can be set up as a Primary Savings, Money Market, or Certificate Account. Direct Deposit and Payroll Deduction into the account can help you to automate saving for your child’s future.*
*Please consult a tax professional. Gesa is not a tax advisor.

In certain circumstances such as the death or incompetence of an owner of this account, the law permits, or in some cases requires, the waiver of the early withdrawal penalty. For any account which earns an interest rate that may vary during the term such as a bump certificate, the interest rate we will use to calculate this early withdrawal penalty will be the interest rate in effect at the time of the withdrawal. You may make withdrawals of principal from your account before maturity. In making such withdrawals, your balance may not fall below the minimum or we will close your account. Principal withdrawn before maturity is included in the amount subject to early withdrawal penalty. You can withdraw interest only on the crediting dates without penalty. A $500 minimum deposit is required for consumer, IRA, and business certificates. Early withdrawal penalties may apply and may reduce earnings.

The new interest rate will be the interest rate we are then offering on regular certificates (non- bump rate certificates) that have the same term and minimum balance. Bump Certificates are only available for consumer and IRA Certificates. Early withdrawal penalties will apply. Minimum deposit balance must be maintained to earn APY and fees may reduce earnings on the account. Special offer for a limited time only. | RXNQ72MLYV9C |
