Answer 1

Many students will discover the importance of managing their money when they open their first checking account. Chase offers a uniquely designed checking account to help students in high school learn the value of financial responsibility.

High School Checking is a full-service checking account available to students between ages 13 and 17. This account is owned by the student jointly with a parent or guardian, provided that the parent or guardian maintains a separate qualifying linked checking account.
