Woodbury, MN Ideal Credit Union will highlight its popular "Get Wiify" campaign with an emphasis on youth and financial literacy during the National Youth Savings Challenge in April. Members under age 18 are encouraged to visit an Ideal CU branch to open an account or make a deposit. One lucky saver may be chosen at random to receive $100 at the end of the challenge. Official rules are posted on www.idealcu.com. "Get Wiify," an acronym for "Whats in it for You," is a fresh approach to enlighten members and prospective members about the value-added products, services and benefits Ideal CU offers. During the National Youth Savings Challenge, Ideal CU employees will be wearing colorful "Get Wiify" tshirts every Friday to encourage young members to save for their future and get whats in it for them, even at an early age. Also in April, Ideal CUs Student Credit Union at Tartan High School in Oakdale will host the popular "Money Talks" educational series. The peer-to-peer program, led by Ideal CU Student Credit Union employees, teaches students the building blocks of personal finance. Sessions focus on the key pillars of financial education: budgeting, savings and investments, credit, and money management tools.
