Opening a minor's checking and savings account
in Banking, Insurance & Loans ·
Same question here—I’m a minor, but my parents are stuck on a two-week business trip and can't come help me open this account. Since I really need to get this sorted this week, could an adult sister or just some other family member step in? The Chase branch I went to is being super strict about needing actual parents, so is there any bank out there where just having a family member present works?
And, uh, will I actually get a debit card and a PIN?
Also, if someone else comes with me to sign off on the account, are they gonna be responsible for it? And would they somehow end up with my card and PIN too?
One more thing—is it okay if I don't deposit anything for a month or two, just in case? Like, if I don't really need to put money in right away, are they gonna start hitting me with fees?
