  1. Not unless she has access to your online banking and/or statements


  2. no

  3. Just withdraw money from your acount and buy whatever you need.

  4. Her name will also be on your bank statements when they get mailed to your house, which will contain all of your purchases.  So if she reads those then yes she can tell.

  5. She'll know WHERE you're shopping, but not WHAT you bought.

  6. Only if she asks to see receipts will she know exactly what you bought.  But she WILL know where you bought it from.

    Happy Spending!

  7. She'll know where you're shopping.

  8. yes, she will get the statements, and she will also be able to go online and access your account at ANY time and be able to see how much and what you have purchased... she should... you are 14...

  9. The statement will come to whomever's name the bank account is in. If you do not wish her to see your purchases then I suggest you get the mail. She will still have access to your account history other ways because she is a signer on this account.

  10. not exactly, since you are still a minor, you parents can inquire about your transactions with the bank. but only thing they will see is the name of the company you did the POS(point of sale) and how much it was for, and a date, but as for what you bought, aside from actually going to the business and inquiring, there is really no way to know.....minors get no privacy

  11. The mail will come with both of your names on it so she can open it and look, if you always open the statements then no she won't know.

    There will be online access to the account as well but that will usually work as the first one to signup will have access.

  12. Yes, as a co-signer, your mom has power over the account. She can close it, see your purchases and monitor your spending. I work at a bank. Your account won't be turned over to you until you are 18.

  13. she'll know where you bought it.

  14. Sorry girl, it isn't private, they keep track of everything that you spend.  You get the results every so month.  BUMMER, but its true.

  15. No, your mom will not know exactly what you bought.  But she will know when and where you made purchases, and how much you spent, when she sees the bank statement.

  16. I have no idea! I wish I had one. Oh actually yes she will be able to see it. It really depends though. Because she can see but there are ways for you to see it and not her but I'm not really sure how to do it. It also depends who does the balancing if it's her then the answer is "Yes"

  17. When my son's pre-paid debit card came, it came with internet access for me. I can see where he bought things - what store, what time, what amount he spent. But statements don't show WHAT was purchased.

  18. Yes they will be private.. the bank isnt going to notify her every time you make a purchase. but she could easily get online and check that way. you shouls get on your banks website and look in the frequently asked questions or even send them an email asking if she will be able to view your current purchase history. Good luck sweetie. Bree
