I want to sign up for the Teen/Student Checking account at Bank Of America, and I am 16 Years Old?

Question

I want to sign up for the Teen/Student Checking account at Bank Of America, and I am 16 Years Old. Can I sign up inside Bank Of America alone, or do I need a parent/someone older than 18 to be with me? I have the proper ID's I would need.

Answer 1

you shouldn't have to, but give them a call and ask them.  They may require it since you are not legally able to be held accountable for anything you sign'

Answer 2

You should call Bank of America and ask them these questions.  They are the ones who will give you the correct answers.  

Answer 3

    well hello there, i work for B of A, so i guess i would be delighted to answere your question for you.

    first of all, thank you for your bussiness we look forward to meeting and helping you.

     okay, you dont need a parent because it is a student checking and you are 16, that is old enough to make an account with us, and as for the proper id you can use your learners permit/drivers license, a student id card, a passport, a state issued id card. pretty much we can take alot of differnt ids yet a social security card will not work, you would need one of the other ids.

      also i hope you know that your account will be free for 5 years as well as a savings account, and we do NOT charge you for anything ( even when you are out of school for summer or in between high school and college).

      hope i could help you  

Answer 4

you need a parent.  You could call them before you go and ask.

Answer 5

You need a parent because you are a minor.
