how do you deposit a minor childs' birthday check in to his parents' checking account?

If the child is old enough to sign his name, have him sign the back, and then just deposit it.   If the child is too young to sign, a check should not have been written to him in the first place, but you can sign his name like this:   "John Doe, a minor, by Mary Doe, parent and natural guardian."

Consider opening two accounts.  A college savings plan or 529 - http://www.529s.com  This is a good account for the parents to put money into for their child's college savings.  When you feel that your kid is old enough to go to the bank with you to open a personal savings account then do that too.  But I would highly recommend that you take them into the bank and let them learn how the process works.  Then when you get home show them how to record transactions in the balance book.  For the first year or so go over it with them on a monthly basis.  Basic money management skills are vital to their financial future.

Your son would have to endorse the check and you could simply deposit it into your bank acct.

Yes, they can send you a check in the mail. But any way other than deposit to a bank account will cost you. You really need to start at least a savings account so you can receive money for free. It will take a few days to hook a savings or checking acct. up (called verifying), so get on with it.\n\nTo list a new item, click on the SELL button near the top of the page.

I know what you are talking about. When I set up my daughters e-mail accounts with YAHOO! they wanted credit a card number even though there is no charge for the account. \n\nAs far as I know there is no other way around it than to just put in a credit card number.\n\nOne other alternative is to change the year on the birthdate to make it an adult account instead of an account for a minor. However this would not give you the "underage" account you want. \n\nWith one of my daughters I just put in my birth year, and it went through just fine. With the other I just put in my CC#. I guess that's just something you will have to decide.\n\nGood luck!

most banks allow that on the bank website. you need to have a password and log on id for your account.

I say just open a bank account.  They need it just to verify your identity.  They wont withdraw any funds from it unless you instruct them to.

You should get your parents to do the following:\n\n1) Help you set up a checking/savings account with a Visa debit card, so you can learn to manage your own money if you haven't already done so.\n\n2) Have them co-sign on a new credit card application with you to set up an account.\n\nAND/OR\n\n3) Put you on as an authorized user on one or more of their existing credit card accounts. That will also report on your credit file.\n\nFYI, they can put you on as an authorized user but you don't have to use the card, just file it. But be aware if they keep a high balance on that card then it will report on your credit file also.\n\nGood Luck

you make your own. Pull a check out of your checkbook and write  VOID across it in large letters. That way, the numbers can be used to access direct deposit or for other purposes, but it can not be used to withdraaw money from your account

use paypal. they'll convert it for you, and take it right from her/his checking/banking account and put it in your checking/banking account. just you and him/her both need an account, which is super easy to get.

He needs to grow up and be responsible. Yes, if he has an account the bank will help him. He will need some proof of identity.

Here's something we're trying with our 15 year old to help him understand credit cards and money management.  \n\nHe has a Visa Buxx card, which is a prepaid, reloadable card that works like a credit card, but has a balance only you (the parent) can control.  The teen has access to account information on their balance and transactions.  They use it just like a credit card anywhere Visa is accepted.  They MUST be aware of what's available in their account or their purchase will be declined.  \n\nYou fund the card from a checking account or checking card.  The issuing bank charges you a setup fee and a small fee ($2)each time you add to the card.  We have a checking account with the bank that issues it and they actually waive that fee.  You can put as little or as much (up to $2000) as you want.  Minimum age to use a card is 13.  And there's no minimum balance or minimum time limit on it.\n\nFor us, it's a real simple way to give him an allowance AND responsibility for it.  For him, it's a way to spend AND budget his money, easily helping him save it for what he wants without tapping his real savings account.\n\nIf your kids are too young, or you think it's too soon, I'm sure the program will be around for a while.  But if you think it's something worth trying, here's a link from Visa to explain the program.
