description Chase First Banking Overview

Chase First Banking gives children a debit card linked to an account owned and managed by a parent. It is available for ages 6 to 17 and designed especially with children aged 6 to 12 in mind. The account has no monthly service fee, and its mobile tools let parents set spending limits while children gain practical experience with everyday money decisions. Families can use the account to connect spending activity with conversations about budgeting and saving.

Parental controls distinguish it from an ordinary independent checking account for an older student or adult. Spending information in the app helps make transactions visible, but the educational benefit depends on how the family uses that information. It suits supervised introductions to banking, with eligibility and the parent's required Chase relationship forming part of the account setup.

help Chase First Banking FAQ

What age is Chase First Banking actually for?

Chase markets First Banking for kids and teens, commonly from ages 6 to 17, with a parent or guardian controlling the account. The adult needs an eligible Chase checking relationship to manage it through the Chase Mobile app.

Can parents block categories or set spending limits on the Chase First Banking debit card?

Yes, the parent can set where the child can spend, set limits, and receive alerts through the Chase app. That makes it closer to Greenlight or GoHenry than to a normal teen checking account.

Does Chase First Banking charge a monthly fee?

Chase First Banking is promoted with no monthly service fee. ATM and other bank-related fees can still depend on how the card is used, so the fee schedule should be checked before travel or cash withdrawals.

Can a child use Chase First Banking before getting a full checking account?

Yes, that is the point of the product: the child gets a debit card while the adult keeps control. It can be a stepping stone before Chase High School Checking or a standard adult checking account.
