Get Answers To Frequently Asked Questions About the
Best Youth Savings Accounts in Ohio

What happens when the child turns 18?

When the child turns 18, their youth savings account will automatically convert to a regular savings account. The child will remain the primary account holder and, at that point, the child or parent can submit a request to remove the parent from the account. 

Will my child's savings account need to be reported on my taxes?

If your child's youth savings account earns enough interest, the income will be reported under the child's Social Security number. The chance of this happening for a savings account is small, but we will send you a tax form if it applies to you.

Does the account come with online and mobile banking?

Children with a youth savings account are not eligible for online and mobile banking profiles. However, the parent/guardian on the account can link the youth account to their online banking profile for easy viewing and management. 

Who can make deposits into this account?

Anyone can make deposits into this account as long as they have the account number (and routing number if they are transferring money into the account electronically). 

Can I open an account for a child that isn't mine?

Yes. You can open accounts for grandchildren, nieces, nephews, or any loved one as long as you have the appropriate identifying information for the child.
