18
Yes, a minor can open a checking account in the state of Maryland but they might need a parent or guardian to be a joint account holder and provide consent. The specific requirements and age limits may vary between different banks and financial institutions. It's best to directly contact the bank you are interested in opening the account with to get accurate information.
Yes they can
Wells Fargo, if your parent is added on the account with you. They have a checking called the "teen checking" that is specifically designed for people between 13 and 17. Once you turn 18, you can open an account without your parent having to be on it with you.
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.
I opened an account for my child (checking @ 15 years old, his name on checks not mine) and grandchild when they were only 6 months old. For no charge. It was a trust account but when they became of age I converted it over to them. Hope this helps silverpenny
{| |- | Not by themselves. Until the minor reaches adulthood they cannot sign a contract with a bank. Someone must co-sign for the account and agree to be responsible. |}

No, an adult would have to be a co-signer. Until they reach 18 years of age, minors are not legally responsible for debts or contracts.
Yes. They cannot garnish the minor's account, however.
If the minor is going to do it alone - Then No. If the minor is taking an adult guardian with whom they have a joint account - Then Yes. Banks do not let minors transact alone and by themselves with them because of their age
A custodial account is an account set up by an adult to benefit a minor.
A letter to a bank changing status from minor to major should include documentation through a birth certificate. In addition the letter should indicate the desired account change due to the change in status. Contact information should be included.
