Chase High School Checking Account

You can open it by visiting a Chase branch in your area, together with your parent or legal guardian. Since your parent/guardian will be the co-owner, s/he must already have a Chase checking account.

You need to bring at least one primary ID, and one secondary ID.

Primary IDs can be birth certificates, a valid U.S. driving license, passport, social security card or state-issued ID. All documents, when possible, should include your photo.

Secondary IDs serve to "identify you twice" -> confirm your identity alright, so these might be documents, such as your student ID, employer ID, pay stubs, and alike. Again, whenever possible, an ID should contain a photo of yours.y

You need to be between 13 and 17 years old to be eligible for the Chase High School Checking^SM.

Well, Chase requires a co-owner simply because you're a minor!
 

So, when you decide to visit your local Chase branch, your parent or guardian must accompany you. They should already have a checking account with Chase. All Chase checking accounts are eligible to be linked to your High School Checking^SM account, except for Chase High School Checking, Chase College Checking, and Chase Secure Checking.

Yes, non-U.S. students can open it in any Chase local branch. A non-U.S. student needs to bring their passport with photo, together with the Student INS I-20 or ICE I-20 form or the DS-2019 form. A parent or legal guardian should accompany the student, as well.

No, it will convert to Chase Total ® account. Once that's happened, you will also receive a new Chase debit card. Your parent or guardian will remain a co-owner of the Total Checking, unless you decide to remove them.

Yes, once you've turned 17, you can change your checking account to College Checking^SM by seeing a banker at your local Chase branch. You'll need to provide a proof of college/university student status (for example, a transcript or acceptance letter), and expected graduation date.

No, Chase Overdraft Services, including Chase Debit Card Coverage^SM aren't offered with this checking account.

There may be several reasons for this: primarily, it's because your parent/guardian has your High School Checking linked to their Chase checking, meaning they will be the ones to pay if you ever overdraw your account. Secondly, if you decide to open a Chase Savings^SM account in addition to a CHase High School Checking^SM, your savings will serve as overdraft protection.

Chase Savings^SM is a savings account, which helps you save money while in college or afterward. Its $5 monthly fee can be waived if you:

• keep a balance of $300+ in your savings account at the beginning of each day, OR
• have $25 or more in total Autosave or other repeating automatic transfers from your personal Chase checking account or Chase Liquid® Card (available only through chase.com or Chase Mobile®), OR
• link your Chase College Checking^SM account to this account for Overdraft Protection, OR
• have an account owner who is an individual younger than 18, OR
• Have a linked Chase Better Banking® Checking, Chase Premier Checking^SM, Chase Premier Plus Checking^SM, Chase Sapphire^SM Checking, or Chase Private Client Checking^SM account.

So, as a student, all you need to do to have the monthly fee waived is link your College Checking^SM to your Chase Savings^SM account. This way, you'll be covered in case of an overdraft, as, instead of being charged a fee, Chase will pull the money from your savings account, and transfer it to your checking.
