Bank accounts.

Am I the only person who had a personal bank account at the age of 12? Even if I couldn't have my own card until I was 13, I think. It seems people these days just don't have bank accounts, even if they have jobs some of the time. Crazy.

You mean a cash card account?, I have had one for quite some time, but I haven't put anything in though. :rolleyes2

I've had a bank account since I was around 13/14. I still kinda sponged off mother until 16 though :)

I've had my bank account since I was about thirteen. The first time I opened it, I put in $25. I drew it out two days later and haven't put anything on since :rolleyes: But now I'm sixteen, I am starting to put some money back into it.

I still use the account I had when I was 12. I just havn't been bothered to get a proper one and actually put my money in it.

I have had my bank account since...I can't remember. I am going with second grade when first communion came around and I got a lot of money.

I didn't get one until I had my first job at 16. No real use for one until then.

I'll get a proper account when I turn 18. Mainly becase I'll have alot of money to put into it when I turn 18. :joey:

I think I've had one since I was about 6. Heck, probably younger.

But you have to remember that my parents met because they were colleagues working in, yep you guessed it, a bank. When you have a bank manager for a dad it's kind of hard NOT to have an account.

I had an account since I was 12, and my parents put in money once a month, which I usually take out as soon as it clears. :rolleyes2

I've had a bank account since I was 11 or 12.

Right now I try to keep as much money with ING as possible because they have the best rates around, 3% currently.

And actually, if anyone is interested in starting an account there, let me know, because when a member(me) refers anyone new(you), I get a $10 bonus and you get a $25 bonus for opening an account with them.

Yup same here.

I was robbing banks at 12.

I'm 20 and I still don't have one. Mainly because I fear the bank would ban me without reason, which seems to be what people like to do to me.

I got an account when I was 13, my mom forced me because I got alot of money babysitting. After that I lost my card multiple times (found it later :p)
