Meridian Trust Federal Credit Union is excited to launch its 2026 Youth Promotion, a limited-time offer designed to reward young members with exceptional earnings opportunities through a tiered Youth Certificate promotion.
The centerpiece of the campaign is a base 10.00% APY Youth Certificate, requiring a minimum deposit of $500 and a maximum of $1,500. To further enhance returns, members can unlock a 20.00% APY by opening or maintaining a joint checking account with a $100 balance alongside the certificate. The premier promotional tier offers an industry-leading 30.00% APY. To qualify for this rate, members must open or maintain a joint checking account with a $100 minimum balance in conjunction with adding a qualifying loan, such as a credit card. No direct deposit is required for any tier. This initiative underscores the commitment of Meridian Trust to providing unique financial opportunities that foster long-term growth for young members.
“This promotion is designed to be both rewarding and engaging,” said Jason Bauer, Meridian Trust CXO. “By offering escalating incentives, we’re giving families a clear path to maximize value while participating more fully in what Meridian Trust has to offer. These rates are unparalleled in the current market.”
The Youth Certificate promotion runs for a 12-month term and is available for a limited time in April 2026. With significantly elevated APYs tied to simple qualifying actions, the program stands out as one of the most competitive youth-focused financial promotions available.
In addition to strong earning potential, the promotion encourages members to explore additional products—such as checking accounts and loans—through a structured, incentive-driven approach.
Families interested in participating in the 2026 Youth Promotion are encouraged to visit their nearest Meridian Trust branch or learn more online at JoinMeridian.com. It’s easy to join and open an account online or in-person. Terms apply and additional details can be found online.
