Alabama credit Union is way way behind the times. There online sign up for online banking is absolutely horrible - it is an application that has to be approved manually.

Once my daughter gets over that hump I don’t care - I will do direct deposit from my paycheck to her account. If that doesn’t work I still have Wells Fargo which is located right off campus - her Wells Fargo is linked to my Wells Fargo account so I can transfer money immediately.

I wanted her to have fee free ATM withdrawal which is all the CU is to me. At 19 they will give her a low balance Credit Card which was my second objective - I wanted her to establish credit history.

If you are giving your child an allowance I recommend the direct deposit if your work allows it.
