When it comes to smart money management and saving, the earlier the better. Kinetic Credit Union is excited to offer Teen Checking Accounts! Now you can start your teen, 13-17 years old, off on the right foot financially. This account allows your teenager to begin building smart money management skills safely and securely.
Benefits of a Teen Checking Account
With Kinetic Credit Union’s Teen Checking Account, you and your teen can manage and monitor the account via free online banking or the mobile app. CardValet allows the account owner to monitor your teen’s spending with spending alerts following each transaction. You can also set and control limits on where and how much your teen can spend in one place. CardValet allows you to teach the importance of money management, saving, and spending in a secure way.
Not only does the Teen Checking Account offer careful monitoring, but it also provides overdraft protection from the linked saving account on up to 6 overdraft withdrawals per month, so you don’t have to pay extra for those accidental learning experiences. You can also easily transfer funds from your Kinetic checking account to your teens, whether it’s a one-time transfer or a recurring payment like a weekly allowance.
Teen Checking Account Eligibility
The Kinetic Credit Union Teen Checking Account is available for all members between the ages of 13 through 17 years old. The account must have a legal adult owner who is over the age of 18 and a current Kinetic Credit Union member in good standings.

At the age of 18, the account will automatically be converted to the Kinetic Checking account.
