What are credit bureaus?

Box 1111, Madison, WI 53701-111. Please provide us with your account number, as well as all other information you believe we should know about the situation. We will investigate and respond to you within 30 days.

Does UmbrellaBank market to children? 

UmbrellaBank does not knowingly market any credit products to children under the age of 18, nor do we solicit personal information from children. In the event we receive an application for credit from a child under 18, our processes are designed to screen out applications so that a child cannot open an account. 

UmbrellaBank does have several Savings account products directed toward children under the age of 18 (such as our Early Birds and Rising Stars accounts).  These accounts are designed to educate children on the importance of saving, as well as provide convenient, flexible, interest bearing options for parents to save for their children's future educational expenses (such as our Coverdell Education Money Market Account). All of these savings accounts require custodial or joint account ownership, and must be opened by an individual 18 years of age or older.
