Help Your Teen Build Smart Money Habits for Life
Learning how to manage money is an important milestone, and a checking account is a great place to start. Circle Federal Credit Union's Youth Checking account is designed specifically for teens ages 12 to 17, giving them the tools to learn responsible spending, saving, and budgeting in a safe, supportive environment.
With guidance from a parent or guardian and access to today's digital banking tools, teens can begin developing financial confidence while gaining real-world money management experience.
A Great First Checking Account
Our Youth Checking account helps teens learn essential financial skills while providing the convenience they expect from modern banking.
With a Youth Checking account, your teen can:
- Check account balances anytime
- Make mobile check deposits

- Set up direct deposit from an employer
- Receive account alerts
- Monitor spending through Online and Mobile Banking
- Manage account information securely

Built for Families
Youth Checking accounts are available for members ages 12–17 and require a parent or guardian to be a co-owner on the account. This allows parents to help guide financial decisions while giving teens the independence to learn how to manage their own money responsibly.
