Why do you want to train up your child to start saving at such a young age.
That's inhibiting his social development.

Your child will grow up being a miser,
Please allow him to flex his life and enjoy the money as it comes

We've only got one life to live and it should be just to jaiye ooo

What is the essence saving all the money on earth and when you die one useless next-of-kin will blow your life savings at one sitting.

Even if you don't die, the bank will use hidden charges to deplete all your savings.

2 The cool teen: specifically for teenagers and they can also hv access to their account including their ATM card. While you are also part of the signatories

3 The savings Acc: this one no need explanations, by now he a an adult

i dont get how this is a reasonable question...does it matter the age you open an account for your child? long as you have money to save there. asking this kinda question makes it seem like the account is supposed to mature and start earning money at some point. if you have money to save for your child at any age, open an account and save dammit

Encouraging a kid to save too early could be dangerous o. Some do turn out to be kleptomania. They just want to fill that piggy bank in other to please the parent. Wait till they are a teenager.

I opened for my children two weeks after they born. The agreement with First bank is, they will start accessing it once they are 18 years. I usually update their passports.

Re: At What Age Should I Open Bank Account For My Child? by Joyekpen: 3:47pm On Jul 19, 2017
After naming ceremony. Any money received as gift during the ceremony should be used to open the account. Thereafter get a piggy bank for the child as soon as he starts talking to save any cash given to him, which should be sent to bank every year end. Let the child go to the bank with you, explain the process to him, even if he doesn't understand all the details. With time the child will come to understand and be proud of such act.
