Earn dividends

The more your child saves, the more they earn

Show your child how a real savings account works by earning dividends on their balance. Not only does this provide a valuable example as to why saving is important, but it also allows them to grow their account balance to prepare for the future. Plus, we offer free resources for kids of all ages to learn about money.

Top questions

  • Your Member number is your savings account number. The reason it is also called a Member number is because your savings account (or share account) establishes your membership with LSCU, and must remain open while you’re a Member.

  • There are a few ways to find your account number:

    • your savings account number, or Member number, can be found on your eStatements in digital banking
    • your checking account number can found on the bottom of your checks after the routing number (311079869)

    You can also find your account number in digital banking. Tap or click on your checking account from the home screen, then tap or click account info (next to history), and the MICR number shown is your checking account number.

    You can also contact our Member Service Center by phone or chat to verify your Member number, checking account number, or loan number.
