Can I open a youth or teen account for a minor?

Yes. Youth memberships are available for children age 12 and younger, while teen memberships are available for those ages 13-17. These memberships can be opened at a branch or by phone. Once a membership has been established, any additional accounts for the minor must be opened in person at a branch. The minor will be the primary owner of the account, but an adult must accompany the minor and register as a joint owner. The adult can also sign documents on the minor's behalf.  Greenlight is available at no cost with your Veridian membership, giving your family simple tools to help kids learn how to earn, spend and save.

 

To open a youth or teen account you will need:

• The minor's Social Security number

• Proof of the minor's identity, such as a government-issued photo ID, birth certificate, or Social Security card

• A government-issued photo ID to verify your identity
