Teens face many choices for the future. Making the right choices in managing your finances will save you time, money and energy, allowing you to have more time for yourself and the important people in your life.
Our Teen Connection program is geared towards teens aged 13 to 18 to help them grow into freedom and handle the responsibility that comes with it.
At the age of 13, you can get an ATM card with your Savings Account that carries a $60 maximum withdraw limit each day.
When you turn 16, you become eligible for a Checking Account, check card and VISA credit card with credit limits ranging from $250 to $1,000. Your parents must be joint on your account, and your eligibility is dependent on their credit score.
