I feel like this is kind of a rookie question, but I’m having trouble finding answers to kind of a niche question: I’m a foster parent. I’ve had these teens for almost 2 years, and I’d like to help them get checking accounts set up. Their mom still has some rights as of now (state has filed for permanent custody, but it’s a process that’s going to take probably another year)... can I help them set up checking accounts that their biological mom can’t access? I know I could probably set up another checking account in my own name and just give them access; but, at least when I was a teen, student checking accounts were free without all the direct deposit requirements Edit: to be a bit clearer about the goal... I’m not trying to set up some trust fund for large amounts of money. I just want them to be able to have a debit card and start learning to budget more than just cash
