Teach your teen that saving is as important as spending

At First American Bank, we make it easy to put teenagers on a smart financial path. Our Teen Checking offers an introduction to financial freedom for teens, with the security of a joint checking account. Even better, it offers a great opportunity for parents to teach financial lessons that will last a lifetime.

Teen Checking is your child's first taste of money management. With this youth checking account, teens can earn a competitive interest rate on their allowance or checks they receive on their birthday and deposit money from their part-time jobs. With their own checking account, they can check their account balance, make deposits and withdrawals, use a debit card, learn how to budget, make transfers between checking and savings accounts, and access Online and Mobile Banking. These are important financial skills to learn at an early age. At the same time, you will have access to their account and can provide help when needed.
