What banks allow minors to get a debit card?

I am 16 years old and i have a job. I recently opened a checking account but they wont let me get a debit card until im 18. Does anybody know any banks that do allow minors to get a debit card?|||none, because you have to be 18 years old to enter into a legal contract. A credit card application is a legal contract.|||Bank of america|||There is a bank in Cherry Creek (Denver metro) Colorado called Young American's Bank and it does...don't know where you live but you might check them out and since you're employed get some help there.|||Bank of America does not...I work there.





Rules about this are set by Visa and Mastercard. Neither Visa nor Mastercard allow minors to have a card with their logo on it. Does that mean that it never happens? Hardly.|||If you're in The UK then Lloyds TSB have an under 19's account and they provide you with a debit card providing you are over 16.|||None that I can think of.|||Since you are a minor and cannot be legally held responsible for debts, the bank - any bank - will not issue you a debit (or credit) card.





Once you turn 18, you are no longer a minor and are considered to be responsible (and liable) for all debts contracted.

Can I use my boyfriends Debit Card to make purchases with his permission?

Okay so about 3weeks ago my debit card broke and since then my boyfriend said that I could use his.


But is it legally correct for me to do that? I haven't used his card yet but I really need to buy somethings and hes going to be working when I plan to buy my stuff. We have the same bank so I would transfer him money after my purchases.|||If your boyfriend gave you his debit card and the PIN then it is perfectly fine for you to use his card.


You will not have to sign the receipt... because when you use the card with the PIN it means you have legal permission to do so.|||You can use the card as long as you have the pin..but if you run it as debit you will also have to sign his name. It is illegal to use someone else's card - only the card holder is legally allowed to. Not only that, you will have to forge his signature which is also illegal. If you run the debit card as credit you will not have to sign anything (in most cases) but is still illegal.
