Teach your teen financial independence

Boost your teenager's financial responsibility with a checking account you can monitor.

  • A checking account with accountability

    It’s essential to teach good financial principles from a young age. AFFCU is here to help get the process started. We have a checking account available for teens ages 13-17. You can open one for them right now—and still keep a close eye on it with full monitoring rights. It’s the perfect way to ensure they’re ready for a debit card and the financial responsibility that comes along with it.
