Union Bank Company launches USpend teen checking account to empower young Ohioans with financial literacy

Helping Ohio teens ages 13-18 build financial independence

COLUMBUS, OH, UNITED STATES, September 2, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Union Bank Company today announced the launch of USpend, a new teen checking account for individuals ages 13 to 18. Available now, USpend gives teens the tools to build financial independence through hands-on banking experience and financial literacy resources.

With USpend, teens receive their own debit card, online banking login, and an automatic USave savings account that opens alongside their checking account. Together, these features encourage responsible money management while providing everyday convenience and security.

Ohio residents ages 13 to 18 are eligible to open a USpend account. Teens with a government-issued ID can open the account independently. Parents can feel confident knowing their teens are learning important life skills in a safe, guided environment. By offering these tools, The Union Bank Company can help teens gain independence, financial confidence, and obtain smart money management skills.

In addition to the USpend account, The Union Bank Company is offering to visit local schools across their entire footprint to teach a financial literacy course. The Union Bank Co. believes it is crucial to start with the youth, as building a strong financial foundation begins at a very young age

“At The Union Bank Co., we believe that a strong financial foundation is key to future success," said Dian Franks, director of marketing at The Union Bank Co. "The USpend account gives teens the tools to build financial confidence, and our new school-based financial literacy course reinforces our commitment to providing this crucial knowledge from a young age. We are thrilled to bring these resources directly to students and empower them to make smart financial decisions.”

The Union Bank Company is excited to support families across Ohio with the launch of USpend, reinforcing its commitment to financial education and community growth.
