Fat Cat

Financial responsibility can be acquired at any age. Just like learning to ride a bike, children can acquire the skills of handling money through their own NLCU account. That is why we are proud to offer the Fat Cat account.

The Fat Cat account is a special savings account designed for children up to age 12 to help teach money management or to save towards an education. Open a Fat Cat account for someone you know and help teach them the power of saving. They can never be too young to start.

As a bonus, NLCU celebrates our Fat Cat account holders’ birthdays. We send a fun birthday card, and deposit $5 into their account on the month of their birthday until the child’s 12th birthday.
