Youth dividend
Growing their savings
The youth dividend1 is a $10 dividend that young members ages 5 to 17 can receive each year to encourage them to save. They don't need to save a specific amount—they're rewarded simply for their hard work and perseverance!
School Caisse members are eligible if:
- They're at least 5 years old on January 1 of the reference year
- They make 7 or more deposits to their School Caisse account between January 1 and December 31 of the same year (eligible everyday account)
- Their School Caisse account is active as of December 31 of the reference year and when the youth dividend is paid out in June of the following year
1 The youth dividend is for members of a Desjardins caisse in Quebec or members of Desjardins Ontario Credit Union Inc. who meet all the conditions. Offer subject to change without notice. For full details, go to desjardins.com/youth-dividend.
