<p>Having reviewed this thread and the FAQ for Obie dollars, I’m thinking that a bank account with a debit card option would give my D more spending flexibility and as much convenience as an Obie Dollars card. But, quick question before I start calling all the banks listed on the new students webpage: Does anyone know if any of these banks have any age restrictions for opening accounts and/or issuing debit cards for students who are not yet 18? Will I have to open a joint account in both D and my name?</p>
