FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

MONEY teen checking accounts are only available online. That means you and your child will be able to open an account, transfer money, talk about spending, and practice their budgeting skills—all from the couch.

While this checking account is designed for teenagers, any child age 8+ can be a joint account holder with their parent or legal guardian. Once they turn 18, your teen can choose to open a 360 Checking account and transfer their balance from their MONEY account. (If they don’t choose to open a 360 Checking checking account, their MONEY account will remain open.)

Nope! You can link any external bank account if you’re not a Capital One customer.

There are no fees to open, keep or use your MONEY account or debit card, for foreign transactions, or to transfer money from internal or external accounts.
