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.
Is a checking account an asset?
From the account holders perspective yes a checking account is an asset. The amount of money you have in your checking account is your asset. From the banks perspective it is a liability because whenever you want your money, the bank has to give it to you.
Can you give a sentence with the word account?

How do you find the name on checking account with the checking account number and routing number that paid a bill for me?
You can try to contact the bank that the account is with by searching the internet with the routing number. However, it is not likely that they will give you that information for privacy reasons.
What will be the initial deposit to open a Bank of America account?
I think it is US $ 500 for a simple checking account. The bank would give you an ATM card and a check book for this account. However if you arrange to have a Direct Deposit (Your Monthly Salary/paycheck) into this account Bank of America waives this minimum balance requirement and you can have it as a Zero-Balance checking account.
Do savings accounts provide you with a checkbook?
Usually not. Checking accounts give you a checkbook, but the idea behind a savings account is that you try to save the money instead of using it regularly, so usually checks and debit cards are only attached to the checking account. Of course online it is just as easy to access your savings account as your checking account.
How old do you have to be to have a debt card?
Between 13 and 17, most banks will allow you to open a checking account and give you a debit card if you sign up with your legal guardian for a joint account, though some will let you get your own account if you want. You have to ask them, and if they won't let you get what you want, try another. For credit cards, it's usually 18+.
I would like to give administrator rights to another account on the same computer to download something on the computer without giving administrator rights how can i do this?
That's a contradiction. You can't "give administrator rights but not give administrator rights."
If your husband is the primary card holder does that give you credit history in a joint account?
Yes, as long as your listed as a "Co-signer" on the account. Credit is not build if you are just an "Authorized User" if this was a credit card account. Lastly, this all assumes that whatever this joint-account is that it reports to credit.
Does having a checking account improve your credit score?
No, a checking account is not correlated to your credit score. The only reason why you have to give your social security # is to prove that you have no outstanding debt with any other banks. ______________________________________ Actually, there is a correlation. Having a checking account doesn't improve your credit score, but you can be accepted or denied an account based on it. If you have bad credit, or no credit, you may be denied from a variety of bank checking accounts. I was told by my lawyer it does improve your credit if you keep your checking account in good standings he said the bank report it monthly to the crdit bureaus thats just what i was told
Can you open a bank account if you are unable to attend in person?
It depends on the type of the account there are many checking accounts out there that give you a branded card for a fee every month.
Where can you get a checking account if you have bad credit?
Chex Systems Bites is a great site for a listing of banks where you can open a checking account with bad credit. They also have information on how the Chex System works and give recommendations on different banks. You can find the website at http://chexsys.tripod.com/goodbanks.html. Many, if not most banks, do not check your credit for a simple checking account. What they do check is if you've defaulted on a checking account at another bank. If another bank has reported you (rightly or wrongly) you will have a hard time getting an account.
