Youth Accounts

Money Ninja training starts here

Matt Freese wasn’t born a professional soccer player. But Matt started honing his skills from a young age. Now he plays for his hometown club, the Philadelphia Union.

It’s the same with money. None of us is born knowing how to manage our money like a pro. That’s where Ardent comes in.

We’re committed to helping young people develop good money habits early on. We offer products and guidance so they can become money ninjas. They’ll get hands on experience spending wisely and saving like a pro. Just like Matt.
