Ages 13-17

By introducing teens to earning, saving, and spending, a Reliant youth account empowers them with the knowledge to set them up for financial success for years to come.

Our youth accounts seamlessly transition into full-fledged checking accounts past age 17, ensuring we will be there every step of their financial journey.

FAQs

A youth account allows the child whose name is on the account to have access to the funds in the account. Reliant also offers a custodial account, where the funds are for the child, but the child does not have access to the funds. Visit any Reliant branch or call us at 800-724-9282 for more details.

A youth member can qualify to get a checking account and/or a debit card at age 16.
