KIDS SAVINGS ACCOUNT FAQS

It’s never too early to open a Kids Savings Account for your child. Start saving when they’re a baby and watch their money grow as they do. A Kids Savings Account is owned by one child under 18 years old and one adult. If the child is under the age of 12, then the adult must be the child’s parent or legal guardian.

To open a Kids Savings Account for a child, have these things ready:

  • For you—name, date of birth, mailing address, email address, phone number, employment information, annual income, Social Security number, citizenship information
  • For your child—name, date of birth, mailing address, Social Security number

You’ll also need to agree to the terms and conditions. Based on varied factors, you may be denied for a Kids Savings account. Upon approval, you’ll have 60 days to fund your account.

Opening a Kids Savings Account is a great way for grandparents to help grandchildren with future expenses and teach them the value of saving. A grandparent can open a Kids Savings Account if the child is at least 12 years old. If the child is under the age of 12, the child’s parent or legal guardian must be the adult to open the account.

Children’s savings accounts offer dual access so you can learn to save together. Kids can sign in and check their balance online 24/7, but transferring money requires a little help from the adult on the account. You’ll have to sign in using your username and password to actually move money in or out of their savings.
