Answer 4

Step1: put your picture ID and social security card in your pocket, along with $100

Step2:go to the bank

Step3:walk in and yell loudly: "I'M HERE TO OPEN A CHECKING ACCOUNT!"

Step4:smile while everyone breaks out in applause and congratulations and high-fives

(note: except for the yelling, that's really how you do it!)

(oh, and there won't really be any applause, either, sorry).

p.s. there are different kinds of checking accounts, make sure to get one with few or hopefully NO monthly fees

Answer 5

FOR MY DAD IT DEPENDS ON THE KID. TODAY I GOT THE CHASE HIGH SCHOOL CHECKING ACCOUNT FOR THOSE 13-17. IT IS LINKED TO A PARENTS ACCOUNT. MY PACKAGE COMES WITH A VISA CHECK CARD. THERE ARE NO SERVICE FEES. ALL THE RULES APPLY WITH THIS ACCOUNT EXCEPT IF YOU OVERDRAFT IT IS TAKEN FROM YOUR PARENTS. SO BE CAREFUL. IT CONVERTS TO A FREE CHECKING ACCOUNT WHEN YOU TURN 19.
