The StartUp Account is uniquely designed to meet the needs of teens (and tweens!) who are pursuing financial independence and opening their very first bank account.
StartUp serves ages 8-17 and can be opened with a minimum deposit of just $50—making it ideal for those with birthday cash, a first job, or anyone who’s ready to practice healthy money management habits.
Tweens and teens will then receive their own Debit Mastercard® to begin practicing healthy financial habits, while reduced daily limits help keep them on track.
We make it easy to practice responsible account management with no minimum balance to maintain and no monthly maintenance fees.
Note: Parent or Guardian is required as a joint owner.
