Youth Savings Certificates & Literacy Program in St. Louis

Gateway Metro is promoting financial literacy with our new Youth Certificate Program! Each Tier will receive an age appropriate Passport. The Passport has some fun and financial activities for young members to complete. As activities are completed, our Tellers will stamp the young member’s Passport and give them a prize! 

Have a question? Ask an MSR to get started! We have created three Tiers for this new certificate literacy program.
