How to Earn Clown Club Prizes
Saving money for the future is important, that's why Mr. Nickels wants to reward Clown Club members for saving money at the credit union. Here's how Clown Club members earn prizes:
- Each time a Clown Club member comes to the branch to make a deposit to their Clown Club Savings Account, they will be eligible for a small prize, such as an activity book, pencil sharpener, or sheet of stickers. Selections may be different at each branch and supplies are limited.
- Since Clown Club members may not be able to make it to the credit union branch because of school, their parents or guardian can make the deposit for them and request a prize.
Clown Club Prize Rules & Tips
- Deposits must be made at one of Arizona Central's branch locations. Unfortunately, we cannot send prizes for deposits made by mail, automatic transfers, or Direct Deposit.
- Loose coin may be deposited at any teller window inside the branch. Loose coin cannot be accepted at the drive-up window.
There are no fees to enroll your child in the Clown Club. Just open their Membership Share Savings account with a minimum deposit of $25 to get started.
