Children’s Savings Accounts
Imagine if every child in Illinois had a savings account to pay for college, help them buy their first home, or start a business. The Illinois Asset Building Group has proposed an innovative new way to help make this a reality - Children’s Savings Accounts.
What are Children’s Savings Accounts?
Children’s Savings Accounts (CSA) are savings and investment accounts created to ensure that all children have the opportunity for lifelong learning and asset building. Opened at birth with an initial deposit and linked to financial education, CSAs have the ability to enhance children’s aspirations, parents’ hopes, and teachers’ expectations - providing opportunities for the next generation.
