Yes as long as a parents name is on the account. The parent will have full access to the account. And somtimes it is hard for the parent to get off of the account when the child decides they dont want their parent to have access any more... depending on what bank you go through.

An alternative to a personal checking account might be to have a business checking account set up with your parents or guardians. If you are enterprising, then your own service for baby sitting, lawn care or other such work could help you to learn the ins and outs of the business world and set you up for greater success in life.

Yes, but you would have to have a parent or another adult that had control of the account until you are age 18.

to have it your name alone I don't think you will find a bank that will do it . However to have your parents names on it I don't think that it would be a problem. The biggest reason is that minors can not be held responsible for a contract either verbal or written. A check is like a contract

Most bank frown upon a minor anda checking accoutn. However, if your parents are joint owners then there would be less resistance form your bank.

Yes, generally five years old is the minimum. And it is usually opened with a parent.
