Check this out: Berkshire Bank, America's Most Exciting Bank has launched a new product, Teen Checking, designed to promote financial responsibility and teach teens important money basics.
As teenagers grow, they're going to need to learn some other money basics, and that includes managing a checking account. Those skills might be more valuable today than ever before: 36 percent of college students at four-year institutions noted that over drafting and managing a bank account are the leading causes of financial stress, according to the 2015 Money Matters on Campus survey by education technology firm EverFi and Higher One, a college financial services company. Furthermore, 12 percent indicated they never check their balances because they are too nervous.
The Teen Checking product is available to individuals aged 15 to 17 with an adult co-owner and is intended to provide teens the freedom to use their own debit card to make purchases and manage a checking account using online and mobile banking. The account has been tailored to meet the needs of teens, with a specific focus on what is most appreciated in banking; immediate access. The convenience of account information is made possible through free online banking, eStatements, mobile banking ; plus, the free debit card has a reduced limit for minors. In addition, Berkshire Bank's website provides financial education resource options for teens and parents to explore and discuss.
