Kids & Teens Accounts
Kickstart their account with $50. See disclosure below.
Open a new account with your kiddo and watch for $50 deposited into the account after 30 days. Already have a Youth account? No worries!
Add another account, like their first Jump Start Savings, first Checking, first Certificate, or first Money Market account to an existing minor account and get $50.
