COLLINSVILLE, Ill. — Scott Credit Union is getting area kids excited about savings with its new Big Barkers Kidz Club.

The club, which is free to kids through age 12 who open an account with Scott CU, focuses on making financial literacy and savings fun.

To encourage savings, each Big Barkers member who makes four deposits into the higher rate savings account gets to choose a prize. In addition, members gain access to an interactive club Web site that includes several pages of games and fun links, tips about saving, information about the value of credit unions and club events, and even a tool that they can use to email Big Barkers mascot Scotty the Dog. Kids will also receive their quarterly issue of the "Money Clips" newsletter.
