The Smart Start window will close on September 30. Here’s how you can ensure that it doesn’t close while your checklist is still unfinished.

What This Means for You

If you set up a JumpStart Savers Account in July, then September is the month when you have to make your decision. The offer will end on September 30, 2026, and a lot of families who began in the summer have already reached or gone past the 90-day period which causes the $100 deposit to be made. At this stage, only a few steps remaining can make the difference between completing the process and ending up with a to-do list.

Key Takeaways

• The promotion period ends September 30, 2026; new accounts need to open before then to qualify
• The $100 deposit requires 90 days of the account staying open and in good standing
• Five completed Zogo lessons are required, and most families only have a couple left by now
• A quick status check this month can catch anything still missing

Check the Account First

Begin with the most straightforward point: make sure that the JumpStart Savers Account which was opened this summer is still open and in good standing, since the entire promotion is based on this being true.

Confirm Online Banking Is Actually On

If the procedure was carried out at the time of opening the account, then that task is now completed; if it wasn’t, it will take a few minutes and that is the only method of actually keeping track of the 90-day countdown from home rather than making an estimate.

Finish Whatever Zogo Is Left

That makes five lessons, and most of the families who began in July now have only one or two modules left, which they can generally complete in one go on a Saturday morning.

Mark the Date

When the account, the internet banking, and the Zogo lessons have been completed, the only thing remaining is time. The account will be eligible ninety days after the opening date, so write down that date in a place where you’ll actually see it.

Proudly Tucson

In Tucson and Sahuarita families spent the summer teaching their children this habit, and it is in September that the reward is actually received by those who complete it. TFCU is pleased to offer $100 for each young saver who finishes the Smart Start programme by September 30, 2026.

Mini-FAQ

• Perhaps we won’t have finished all of it by September 30?
  • You have to carry out the requirements, including opening an account, during the promotional period. If you’re uncertain about your position, a member of the branch team can look at your particular timeline.
• How do we know if we’ve actually hit the 90-day mark?
  • Ask at a branch, or check online banking. Either way, someone can confirm the exact date for you.
• Can we still open a new account this month?
  • Yes, as long as it happens before September 30. Just know there’s less runway to hit 90 days before the deadline, so sooner is better.
