I remember visiting the bank with my father thinking it was the coolest place ever. It was so exciting for me to tag along while he got his business done. When it came time for me to open my very first checking account all on my own, I was over the moon. It was my first glimpse at adulthood.
Back then, all I got was a lollipop. This year, Boiling Springs Savings Bank is running a special program called “Gift for Garden State Grads”. From now through June 30, 2015, students age 14-23 opening a student checking account with $20.15 or more will receive a bonus interest deposit in the amount of $20.15.
The Student Checking Account is perfect for first-timers looking to learn about managing money. There is no greater method of teaching than to have a student manage his or her own account. Because when it’s their money, kids will pay attention to all of those debits and credits! This type of account would also be perfect for setting up a teen heading off to college, providing spending money and cash for all of those back to school essentials.
Saving money is not hard to do when you’ve got all of the right support. Student checking account holders will receive free 24 hour telephone banking, and can make free transactions at Boiling Springs ATMs with either an ATM card or Debit MasterCard. Accounts feature complimentary direct deposit and overdraft protection service is available.
With Boiling Springs Savings Bank Student Checking, there are no monthly fees charged, online banking and bill payment are free and your student will never have to pay for checks. Interest is accrued on all accounts, no matter what the balance. Once your child reaches the age of 23, the account will convert to a regular NOW account.
If you have a student age 14-23, send him or her over to Boiling Springs Savings Bank to open a Student Checking Account and earn a cool $20.15. Follow BSSB on twitter and facebook for news and offers.
Here are my tips for making the most from your hard-earned cash:
Both of my sons have bank accounts. It’s so important for young people to understand the value of earning and saving money.
Sounds like a great service. My girl is having students bank account. I always like to give her an idea about coupons and save money. Thanks for sharing this post.
Great way to teach them how to manage money at an early age
My kids both have student bank accounts. The rates are amazing and it teaches them about saving money. I have been trying to teach them about coupons and how much you can save price matching.
This is a great service! I remember getting my checking account, which I still have to this day! This is pretty great my oldest will soon need his own!
What a great service! My children are still too young but this is a great way to prepare them as they get older.
With a few teenagers getting ready to head to college in not too long, this is perfect. I would like to get them all situated and ready for their new financial responsibilities.
Getting my first checking account was so exciting! It was one of the first things that made me feel like a grown up. My daughter will be going off to college in 2 years, so we just started hers, but so far, she’s just depositing, not spending. Gonna save that cash for much needed college expenses!
I remember going to the bank with my dad & it was awesome! I got a bank account & thought I was the coolest person :P
That’s super cool. I have bank accounts for my children and really need to go back and make a deposit with them. They love going and I take advantage of all special deals for them.
