At Town & Country Federal Credit Union, building smart financial habits can come with some unforgettable experiences — just ask a few very excited young soccer fans.
Through Town & Country’s special Benchwarmer Experience with Hearts of Pine, local kids have had the chance to hang out by the field before the match, stand right near players during warm-ups, and experience professional soccer from a perspective most fans only dream about.
And it all starts with a Youth Rewards Checking Account or Youth Account.
“It was the coolest thing ever,” said 11-year-old Mason after his Benchwarmer experience. “We got to be right by the field and see the players up close. I didn’t want it to end.”
For many kids, the experience creates memories that go far beyond the game itself.
“I felt like I was part of the team,” said 9-year-old Emma. “I told all my friends at school I got to stand near the players before the game!”
Town & Country created the Benchwarmers Program to connect financial education with exciting real-life experiences for young members and their families.
“Youth accounts are about more than just banking,” said Jon Paradise, SVP at Town & Country Federal Credit Union. “We want kids to feel excited about saving money, learning financial responsibility, and being part of something fun and positive in the community.”
Town & Country’s Youth Rewards Checking Account includes a free Debit Card with no age restriction, helping parents introduce financial independence with parental oversight and guidance.
Because at Town & Country, finances and fun really can be a perfect match.
Open a Youth Rewards Checking account or Youth Account to qualify to be a 2026 Benchwarmer. It’s open to all kids 17 and under and includes 2 tickets to a Hearts of Pine game.
Town & Country is the Preferred Credit Union of the Hearts of Pine.
