Independent Edge™

U of M Credit Union's Independent Edge™ program is a series of no-cost, in-depth financial education presentations for teen members 16, 17, and 18 years old. These classes focus on managing a checking account, budgeting, using credit wisely, and electronic account access.

Upon successful completion of the course, your teen may be given the option to:

  • Remove the parent from his/her account
  • Open a checking account with a debit card (certain restrictions may apply)
  • Register for MemberNet Online Banking and TellerPhone
  • Apply for a Visa credit card with a $500 credit limit (only with a qualified co-signer)

Class size is very limited, so please register your son or daughter quickly by calling 734-662-8200, ext. 2556 or by clicking here to enroll online. We will then send you a confirmation notice along with a parent consent form and participant agreement which must be completed and brought to the first class. Due to the popularity of the Independent Edge™ program, only teens who have accounts with us will be added to the registration list.

Independent Edge™ is a fun and very beneficial program, and we look forward to meeting your teen.
