do u need 2 be 18 2 open up ur own bank account?

Answer 1

A bank account, no. I think I opened mine at 16 with no parental consent. With parental consent you can even go younger. You can get checks, debit card, whatever you want at like 16.

Answer 2

No. I've had my bank account since I was about 12 or 13. I just had to have an adult co-sign and still at the age of 16 I have to have parent consent. When you're 18 though you can do whatever you want and won't need a parent to co-sign on the account. However, you might want to see how your bank has it set up just in case it's different.

Answer 3

Yes. You need to by 18 to open a bank account on your own.

Answer 4

Nope at Webster bank you can sign for yourself at 16. This is a savings account only and need to wait until the age of 18 to have a checking account.

Answer 5

You can have a bank account before you are 18 but you will not get a cheque book nor a credit card or a cheque guarantee card until you are 18 but you can have a cash withdrawal card like a Halifax Solo card. Which some shops let you use.

Answer 6

Yes, but many banks offer a student account (for college kids), as soon as your 18 it becomes yours . My son has this. At 18 my name comes off the account.

Answer 7

It depends on the bank. Some offer bank accounts to younger kids or require a parent to also be on the account.

Answer 8

savings accout, you can be any age, but you have to have a parent co sign. for a cheking account, you must be 18, and should have a job--- there are a lot of fees involved

you can have a checking account if you are under 18 if a parent also cosigns, but it's not a good idea.

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10
