Last Christmas, I was thinking of giving my little girl a substantial kind of gift that she haven't had before. I wanted to make sure that it will be totally different from the usual gifts she receives in the past three years. After thinking thoroughly, I decided to open her very first savings account. I opted to delay it until the new year due to two long weekends we have for December of 2014 and with my hectic schedule, I didn't have time to go to the bank before the holidays.
A day ago, I was thrilled to have finally pushed myself to go to the bank and open a savings account for my little girl via PSBANK Kiddie Savers. I have a lot of bank options but upon reviewing the offers, I choose PSBANK among others because of its comprehensive product features, higher benefits and easy requirements.
Opening a PSBANK Kiddie Savers is easy. In my case, I came to the bank already carrying the required requirements (I prepared two of my valid ids, my daughter's certified true copy of birth certificate and her passport). I spoke to the new accounts officer, accomplished necessary forms and submitted the requirements and viola! Though they do not require initial deposit, I opted to do the opposite since I already have the resources, my monetary gift for my daughter as well as the Aguinaldo she receives last Christmas. Less than an hour they presented to me my daughter's KIDDIE SAVERS Passbook (note: you have an option to get a passbook and atm card) together with the copy of her free personal accident insurance. If you want to know more about the features and benefits, check out PSBANK KIDDIE SAVERS or go the nearest bank near you and talk to the new accounts officer. Do not hesitate to ask questions if you feel you need to, for sure they will be glad to serve you.
It was such a refreshing feeling to begin the year right and so far I think it is one of the best decision I made for this year. I know she won't appreciate that piece of paper for now but as a mom I believe it is important to teach my kid about saving and somehow instill the value of thrift at an early age until it becomes her habit while growing up. Honestly, I know it a long way to go but with discipline and perseverance including prayers and hard work, I know we are on the right track.
Seize the day! ☺
