If a person is under 18, can they open one up with a parent?

Answer 1

yes. if below 18, a custodial account (a custodian with minor)can be opened and when the holder turns 18, the account can be converted to a personal account.

if the minor has a job or turning 18, you can check with the branch since they have the discretion if a personal account can be opened.
