Empowering the Next Generation of Smart Spenders
Pacific Checking offers teens and college students (ages 25 and under) the opportunity to learn how to manage their own money, without monthly service fees. The account is opened with the teenager or student as primary owner. For ages 13-17, a parent or other responsible adult is also added to the account as joint owner.

Open Pacific Checking: Ages 13-17
Due to privacy laws surrounding online collection of minors’ personal information, we ask that a parent or other responsible adult visit any branch location to start the account. Please bring the teen's state-issued ID and their basic information (name, address, birthday, Social Security number). Although the teen is not required to be present, it's a valuable opportunity to learn how to do their own banking, so we recommend you bring them along!
