Thanks so much to everyone for the help. I stopped by JPMorgan Chase this morning and everything is sorted out; my card should arrive in about two weeks.😁

I was thinking about opening a checking account at Bank of America to get a Visa debit card, so I'm just wondering... does it actually work for online shopping?

One more thing, though. If I open a standard checking account with a Visa Electron card, will I be able to make international purchases online? For example, things on Steam?

I couldn't find any specifics on Chase's website regarding which documents I need to bring to open a bank account. Since I'm a minor, I'm wondering if there's more required than just my ID? Maybe a birth certificate, social security card, or something else...

Just one more thing. Is it possible to open both a checking account and a savings account? One for my direct deposits and another just for whenever someone sends me money...

Thanks so much 🙂 I don't really have any income anyway, so taxes aren't even on my mind xD. I just need the card to make some transfers and shop online since it's cheaper

I'm 16 and looking to open an account—I don't really get the difference between a checking or savings account—where I can have a passbook to deposit money and then use it for online shopping? My cousin, who is also 16, has something like this. Does anyone know what this is actually called and if it's even possible? 🙂
