Nobody except the banks , I am a 17 year old and I am only just beginning to learn about the responsibilty of money with a new job , getting a new car , running my own life as a adult and so it is easy and perfectly normal to make mistakes along the way. Unfortunatly this can cost £15-£25 for going overdrawn but I'v heard banks do not charge under 18's for being overdrawn anyway. Maybe the banks should think twice about giving a 17 year old any access to money they dont have, theres credit history for a reason , maybe they should use it and not rely on teenagers sensibilty and parents pockets in this matter.
You can get a savings account, and with your parents help even a checking account.
yes as long as you are a signer. Www.bank-credit-tip.info
Think how a responible kid would and if can't do that then think about knowing whats right
Some banks have different policies and procedures for checking accounts and the age at what they can be opened etc. RBC Bank for example in Champions Gate FL can open a checking account for a minor (min age 15 - though usually 16/17yrs) as a sole owner (no one else on the account) though a parent/guardian would need to sign a "parent/guardian indemnification" to allow this. Visa however have requirements that you must be 18 to have a Visa Check Card, though this can be avoided by using an ATM card instead.
There is no possible way for you to do this unless your parents have your name on their account or you have power of attorney over all items pertaining to them. If one of the two apply then you can contact the bank to set up this service.
whenever the parents feel that this child is mature and responible enough to not take advantage of the privilage of having a cell phone

Give them a bad grade on on time on their report card and the parents will be much more responible on taking there child to school
NO. Online banking is a fantastic way to manage your bank account as it is easy and convenient, However, you will not be able to use it exclusly. You will still need to deposit any money received from the parents dircetly into your account.
It depends: a. Yes - If you are joint holder of the account along with your parents then you can deposit it into that account b. No - If you are not a joint holder of the account along with your parents, then you cannot deposit it into that account. A check can be deposited only into an account that is held by the person on whose name the check is issued.
Ask your parent to co-sign the loan, however that would make your parents responible and at risk if you default on the loan.
Yes, definitely. But, the minor would need his parents or legal guardian to be a joint applicant and holder of the account. Banks will have no problems giving you an account as long as an adult is a co-holder of the account.
