Banking FAQs

Can I overdraft my Clear Access Banking account?

Although we won't authorize transactions – such as ATM withdrawals, debit card purchases, or recurring debit card transactions – when you don't have enough money in your account to cover them when they are presented to us for authorization, certain transactions or account activity may result in a negative balance. For example, if you add a tip to a transaction after we've approved the transaction without the tip OR if we credit a deposit that is later returned unpaid, you may see a negative balance in your account. If this occurs, we won't assess an overdraft fee, but you need to repay the negative amount promptly.

Can I open a teenage bank account online?

You must be 18 years or older to open this account online.

Can a minor open a bank account without a parent?

17-year-olds can open this account without a parent. Teens 13 - 16 years old need an adult co-owner.

How do I open a bank account for a teenager?

Teens 13 - 16 years old need an adult co-owner to open this account. Ages 13 - 17 must open at a branch and bring a state-issued ID or passport. Teens without ID need both a Social Security card and a birth certificate.

What is second chance banking?

Second chance bank accounts provide a great opportunity for customers unable to open standard accounts due to past credit or banking history.
