The parent must have an existing qualifying Chase checking account which must be linked to the High School Checking account. Qualifying accounts exclude Chase High School Checking, Chase College Checking, Chase Secure Checking and Chase First Checking.

High School Checking has no monthly service fee. Standard Overdraft Practice and Chase Debit Card Coverage℠ aren't available.

Students should bring at least one primary ID and one secondary ID. See acceptable forms of identification to open an account (PDF).

When the student turns 19, their Chase High School Checking account will convert to a Chase Total Checking account and they'll receive a new Chase debit card.
