IBC Free checking account?

Question

well I saved up some money and I wanted to open up an IBC free checking account.

I was wondering how old do you have to be to open one?

I am only 16.

I can get my parent to co-sign.

but my dad call'd and they said you have to be 18.

any help please?

Answer 1

You need to be 18 to have a checking account. Its a legal thing, they need to have it so if you write a bad check they can charge you as an adult. Its just a legal thing and keeps young people from making bad mistakes before they get to adult age. Waiting is a hard thing to do.
