It depends on the bank. Some banks may give checking accounts to people as young as 16. However most have tighter restrictions.

You both have access to this account and checks to either of you can be deposited in it.

Does having a joint checking account with someone with bad credit affect your credit?
Their credit is not reported on yours unless they mess up the checking account itself. If they bounce a check or start getting a lot of NSF's that will be on both of you. But their previous credit cannot affect yours. First, I would like to explain to you the difference between having bad credit, and having a bad report on ChexSystems. Banks and credit unions usually report people to Chexsystems regarding delinquent bank accounts. Financial companies and lenders report people to the 3 major credit bureaus regarding delinquent accounts. So, with that said, having a joint checking account with someone with bad credit does not affect your credit. If that person goes into delinquent status with the checking account and the bank reports him or her to Chexsystems or some other check verification company, then yes your name and social security will be reported as well. Your report will stay on Chexsystems for at least 5 years, unless you have it removed by some means. There are many banks that offer promotions for checking accounts for people with negative markings on their chexsystems report. A free consumer organization called "InfoAviator" has a pretty large list of them at infoaviator.org/finance/checking-accounts/2014/05/28/how-to-open-a-second-chance-checking/
