Teen Account


It’s never too early to start building a strong financial future for your teen! Teaching children responsible money saving, spending, and budgeting habits from an early age gives them the foundation they need to kickstart their financial journey.

JHFCU’s Teen Account is the perfect introduction to financial independence and smart money management for your teenager, ages 13-17.

By opening our jointly owned Teen Account, you and your teenager can manage their money together.* This gives your teen a first glimpse at financial freedom while still keeping you in control of all transactions, usage, and more.

Give your teenager the gift of an early financial education that will last a lifetime. Open a Teen Account to get a $50 bonus!*
