This holiday season, instead of gifting toys or gadgets that offer momentary joy, why not give your child something that will last a lifetime?
For Christine Caberte, the gift of financial security for her son is more valuable than any toy. The proud mother recently opened a bank account for her six-year-old, choosing a BDO Junior Savers account over a traditional piggy bank.
“I’ve seen my son save money in his piggy bank for some time, but I wanted something more secure,” Christine said. “With a bank account, I know his money is safe and intact, unlike a piggy bank that can be easily opened.”
Christine, a former overseas Filipino worker planning to return abroad, values the peace of mind knowing she can send money to her son’s account for both his daily expenses and savings. “It’s comforting to know he now has a bank account that’s his alone,” she added. “It’s safe, and nobody can touch it; it’s his to grow.”
BDO Junior Savers accounts are available to children from birth, offering an easy way for parents to teach their kids the value of saving. Starting with an initial deposit of just P100, the account earns interest and rewards points once the balance reaches P2,000. Kids also receive a Special Design Passbook to monitor their savings and, when they turn seven, a Junior Savers Debit card.
This holiday season, consider securing your child’s future by opening a BDO Junior Savers account. With its low minimum deposit, the account provides an affordable way to teach children financial independence and responsibility.
Instead of spending their aguinaldo on gadgets or toys, kids can deposit their gifts into their Junior Savers account, watching their savings grow while learning important lessons about patience and financial discipline.
