Banks that allow children accounts? Does anyone know of a bank that will give me a card to swipe.?
Wendlingen am Neckar I had an account with redwood credit union, but every time i needed money i had to go to the bank to get the money. I want a bank that will give me a card with all the money that i have deposited into the account and i can just use it whenever. Im still a teen.

Buy a prepaid card at Walmart.

Most banks will do this if a parent will also sing on the account. The reason is that an account opening agreement is a contract and contracts in most jurisdictions can’t be signed by minors.
If you are 17 you can open up a student account. They will ask you if you are heading to college, say yes.
Your mom will have to go with you and her name will also be on the account. It is called either a student checking or a custodial checking account.
You will receive a debit/atm card. Possibly a visa card depending if your parent has a good relationship with your local bank.
