Bank accounts for students living on campus

[civ@uw]

Is there a way to apply if you are less than 18 years old?

[nkwu]

hats the only draw back, with the withdrawal of grade 13, a bunch of students will be 17 when they begin university(soonto turn 18 within the end of the year though), has this policy changed? because I would like ot have a PC financial account.


An alternative is gettingyour parnets to get the account,m and just let you use everything.

if you're under 19 you can get a youth savings account, and every transaction is free. i have that myself... but for some reason my account is a chequing account... meh, o well it sall good

[nkwu]

^that exists?, well I have one with CIBC that expires...when im...18?, and will probalby get the PC one eventually when I can, but where's that on the website?

[blahraptors]

i never looked at the website. i just saw that account in the brochure and i signed up for it. it's great cuz everything's free! no fees or anything (think free banking)

if your under 18 just get a cibc account, it's free anywayz? then get a pf later on

ya u can do that, and i think when u turn 19 they automatically switch u to a student account which has discounts, but u do have to pay a monthly fee unless u have a certain amount of money in ur account (i think $1500?)
