WHEN TO OPEN A
CHECKING ACCOUNT
FOR A TEEN
You can open a checking account for
your teen when they turn 13.
Does your teen have an after school
or summer job? That’s the perfect
time to open an account with them.
The earlier your teen gets a checking
account, the better prepared they’ll
be for financial independence.
The recommended age to open a teen
checking account is 16 or when they
start driving.
Under 18? Teens need an adult to
open their account.
HOW TO OPEN A TEEN
CHECKING ACCOUNT?
Teens aged 13 - 17 must have an
adult open the account with them.
A deposit of at least $5 will be
required to open the account.
Teens need a learning curve when it
comes to spending, so look for an
account with overdraft protection.
Find an account with robust mobile
and online banking so the teen can
quickly learn how easy it is to manage
their money from anywhere.
Look for a teen checking account
specifically designed to help
teenagers learn how to manage their
money.
WHY OPEN A
CHECKING ACCOUNT
FOR A TEEN?
Having a checking account teaches
teens how to deposit the money they
earn.
A checking account gives teenagers
the freedom to spend money on things
like gas, food, and entertainment.
Using mobile banking apps and online
banking, teens can learn how to
manage their money on the go.
Accounts with learning modules like
moveUP give teens the financial
education they won’t get in school.
Teens with checking accounts learn
how to be responsible with money, a
skill they’ll need when they move out
on their own.
You might have already opened a savings
account for your child and taught them the
basics about earning, saving, and spending.
But, as your child grows into a teen, you can
help them build on those basic skills and start
learning how to manage their money by
opening a teen checking account with them.
Here’s what you need to know to get started:
