You can also join if you are in the immediate family (spouse, parents, children, siblings, grandparents) or household of a First City member, First City offers a range of accounts to help the young people get off on a sound financial footing, including a FirstStart Savings Account and Freedom Choice Checking Account (for teenagers age 16-18, with parental signature). When they reach 18 and are old enough to borrow, we offer Young Auto Auto and Personal Loans and Visa Credit Cards. Savings-Secured Personal Loans and Visa Credits are also available at rates that are lower than unsecured loans. The accounts are offered with a number of unique options that make them much more affordable than bank loans or other "hard money" services. Get more information about our Young Adult Loan Program. Remember, as a First City member, your immediate family is also eligible to join, including kids, spouse, siblings, parents and grandparents. Roommates too!
