Alltru TruSpend Savings Account Frequently Asked Questions

You Asked, We Answered.

TruSpend is our branded youth banking line consisting of:

TruSpend Checking – A youth checking account with debit card access.
TruSpend Saving – A youth savings account designed for early savers.

Both accounts are joint accounts with a parent, guardian, or other eligible adult and are structured to grow with the member from childhood into young adulthood.

Youth aged 8 to 17, with a joint adult owner (usually a parent or guardian).

• No monthly fees
• Visa debit card issued to the youth
• Online and mobile banking access
• Visa debit card issued to the youth
• Joint adult oversight
• Alerts and transaction monitoring via digital banking

Yes. The youth receives a debit card with their name on it. These members can select special TruSpend designs at the branch through instant issue. Otherwise, their card will arrive through the mail looking like our normal Alltru debit card design.

Yes. Debit card limits are set appropriately for youth to reduce risk. Current default limits are:

$500/day for point-of-sale purchases
$500/day for ATM withdrawals

Limits can be adjusted at the request of the joint owner, subject to internal review.

Yes, TruSpend Checking and TruSpend Savings accounts can be opened online or at the branch.

• No monthly fees
• Standard share savings dividend rate
• Online and mobile banking access
• Joint adult oversight
• No minimum balance required to open
• Ability to create savings goals within online banking

Yes. Internal transfers between TruSpend Savings and TruSpend Checking are available through online and mobile banking. The adult joint owner can also manage those transfers as needed.

• The member is automatically converted to an adult checking and primary savings account.
• Notification of account status change is sent prior to the member’s 18th birthday.

The adult joint owner can:

• View all balances and transactions in their Alltru mobile app
• Set up alerts and monitor spending in their Alltru mobile app
• Transfer funds between accounts in their Alltru mobile app
• Request account changes or closure

The debit card functions like a normal Visa debit card. While we do not offer merchant-level blocking at this time, parents can monitor all spending and set up real-time alerts in online banking. Card lock/unlock is available.

No. There are no monthly maintenance fees for either TruSpend Checking or TruSpend Savings.

TruSpend Checking + Savings: Where money skills begin.

Pair a TruSpend Savings account with TruSpend Checking to help them learn how to save and spend wisely. Every TruSpend Checking includes a free debit card, making it easy for teens to shop responsibly, whether they’re at home or on the go. And when they turn 18, they can transition to a Basic Checking account to fit their growing needs.

For a limited time, members can receive $50 when opening a new TruSpend Checking account.

  • “They always know me when I walk in and I feel comfortable asking them any questions I have.”
