A Checking Account for Every Phase of Life

Start Young: Building Good Habits Early

Opening a checking account for a young person can be one of the most impactful financial gifts you give them. With the right account, you can teach them the basics of budgeting, saving, and spending responsibly. For young adults, having a checking account not only provides access to their money but also gives them the opportunity to understand important concepts like checking account fees, overdrafts, and ATM access.

At Guaranty, we offer youth-friendly checking accounts that help foster financial literacy early on. These accounts often have lower fees and no minimum balance requirements, making them ideal for beginners. Plus, they come with easy-to-use online tools and mobile banking apps so

Savings and Beyond: Setting Up for College

As your child grows, their financial needs evolve. A checking account that works for them in high school may need to transition into something more suited for a college student. At this stage, they may need more flexibility for managing student loans, scholarships, and personal expenses. It’s also a great time to introduce them to the concept of saving for the future.

At Guaranty Bank & Trust, we offer accounts designed to help college students manage their finances with no monthly fees and access to free online banking. With mobile banking, they can easily track spending, transfer money, and set up automatic transfers to savings accounts for long-term goals like a down payment on their first car or home. These accounts are an excellent way to build responsible financial habits while still offering the flexibility to manage everyday

Your First Home: Saving for Major Life Milestones

As your child approaches adulthood, having a checking account is crucial for managing finances as they take on bigger responsibilities. At this stage, helping them save for a major milestone like buying a home can be life-changing. Opening a checking account that works with savings accounts can help them build a strong financial base. They can set up direct deposits, automate their savings goals, and access budgeting tools to prepare for their future.

In addition to checking accounts, Guaranty offers savings accounts that can help you plan ahead for your child's first home or other big life goals. You can encourage them to start a savings account early on, teaching them the value of setting money aside for things that matter most. With our range of accounts, from basic savings to more specialized accounts for long-term planning, they’ll have everything they need to get ahead in life.
