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.

How old do you have to be to get a checking account?

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.
