Best Answer

All banks have facilities where kids can open bank accounts. However, they will require an adult to be a joint holder or guardian for the account until the kid turns 18. The kid can visit the bank branch themselves to deposit any cash they want (you can even deposit $5 or $10 into a kids savings account). Actually banks these days are encouraging kids to have their own bank account in order to educate them about money and how to save for a better future.

Yes, but you can only open an account as a minor, and need to get a Parent/Guardian to open the account with you.

How old does my son have to be before opening a checking account?

It depends on the bank. Some banks may give checking accounts to people as young as 16. However most have tighter restrictions. Generally, banks will not allow a person to open their own checking account until they are 18, but many banks allow you to open a joint account that you share with your child. You both have access to this account and checks to either of you can be deposited in it. If you do your banking online, most banks also make it easy for you to wach your child's spending on a joint account. The minimum age for joint accounts is usually 14 years.

First Command Bank in Fort Worth, Texas does offer free checking accounts. They have an account for 14 to 22 year olds with no monthly fees. The minimum deposit is $25 to open the account, but there is no minimum deposit afterwards. This account is called "First Account" and includes a debit card and unlimited check writing.

Check writing is unlimited and you'll receive a free debit card with the Command account. Free online statements and bill paying is another benefit for either of these checking accounts.

Where can you open a bank account at 14 years old?

I don't think it is legal for a 14 year old to do anything like that. You need to get an adult (preferably a parent) to open an account and you can have an agreement that it is your money. Make sure it is someone you trust.
