I want to get A debit Card but I am only 15?

Question

I want to be able to go buy things without cash..(which is also good) and i want a debit card not a credit card because its a lot less responsibilty. And i cant put it under my parents names because in CA they check your id EVERYWHERE(i think)So if you know anywhere that could get me a bedit card that would be a great help.

Answer 1

you're best bet is to go to walmart and get the prepaid ones.

Answer 2

well here in Michigan if you are under the age of 18 you can not get a debit card in your name it has to be in your parents name.. but you can have a ATM card for savings withdrawal.. but again it will also have to be in your parents name til 18.. so check with the bank you do business at and they will tell you the laws..

Answer 3

You need to be 18 as a debit card is tied to a checking account which a minor could not open on their own.  Prepaid cards might be a good option.

Answer 4

go with an adult to the bank and they'll open the account for you on your name.

Answer 5

You can get a pre-paid Visa or Mastercard credit card.  You put money on it and you can use them everywhere, stores, restaurants, online and at ATM's.  They are sold at banks, pharmacys, check cashing places and lots of other places.

Answer 6

You can get one at any bank as long as you open up an account. However you may be limited to withdrawals or charged monthly fees. Check with any bank. When you do open one you will need forms of ID and a social. Also because you are a minor your parents will have to co-sign.
