Make Summer Dreams Come True
At First Commerce, we understand that summer camps create lasting memories for your children, but they can also create financial stress for families. As part of our commitment to financial wellness, we’ve created two specialized solutions to help you manage summer camp expenses with confidence and ease.
Summer Camp Loan
The ideal low-interest alternative to credit cards for this summer’s camp expenses.
- Borrow up to $2,500 with a 9-month repayment term
- Competitive rates starting at 4.99% APR* with autopay (5.24% without)
Summer Camp Savings Club
With the ability to earn higher interest rates, the Summer Camp Savings Club is a smart way to plan ahead for next summer’s adventures.
- Earn 2.5% APY* on balances up to $3,000
- 0.25% on amounts above $3,000
- Choose from two maturity dates – March 1, 2026: Access funds early for camp registration and deposits OR June 1, 2026: Allow your savings to grow longer for summer expenses.
