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!
