Bank for the future.
Bank Maspeth.
Choose Teen Checking & Savings for convenient access to your money now, and a solid financial education for the future.
Introducing Teen Checking & Savings, for ages 13 to 17.
At Maspeth Federal Savings, we think a teen's first bank account should be more than a place to keep money. With our new Teen accounts, they'll have the tools they need to conveniently access and manage their money.
These accounts include access to budget and goal-setting features, plus a wealth of financial education and literacy resources from MFS.
With our Teen accounts, you’ll enjoy your growing freedom and independence even more by keeping track of your spending and learning how to manage your finances (parents will be happy about that, too).
With Teen Savings you’ll earn interest on your savings balance—and discover the power of saving and watching your money grow.
