The Piggy Bank that Gives Back

Teach Money Basics
Whether they're saving for a dream toy or looking ahead to save for college, watching the balance on their savings account grow can motivate them to be smarter consumers as they grow up.

Joint Bank Account
An account that you and your child own together. If you opt for a checking account, your child can get access to a debit card. This is a great way to get your child used to using a bank account for everyday purchases. If you decide on a savings account, your child can gain experience with saving and earning interest. Be aware that the child may be able to overdraft the account or incur fees.

Custodial Account
An account owned by the child but run by a parent or guardian. The guardian may withdraw money as needed for the child, but the child cannot access the account without them until they are 18 or 21, depending on the state. This account is a bit more complicated and comes with some strict rules. It's usually best for long-term savings.
