What is the minimum age required to open a savings account for kids?
This account is designed for kids aged 12 and under and is the perfect way to introduce them to personal finance and money management.

While the Savings Safari Club focuses on saving money, we do not offer debit cards for this particular account. However, our Xtreme Teen Savers Club, for teens between the ages of 13 and 18, is a checking account that comes with a free, no-fee Visa debit card.

You’ll have access to helpful online banking features that make it easy to keep track of your child’s savings progress. We designed our accounts to help parents and children save money together.
