Opening Minor Accounts

We love our minor accountholders and yet…it is sometimes hard to know what we can do and what we can’t do for those who are under age at our bank. It is always disturbing when minors have authority to transact business in the bank because in many states the minor is not responsible for his or her actions on deposit contracts.
