All of my various bank and credit card accounts offer online credit checks. One thing that a recent online security breach highlighted is that kid's credit scores can be ruined before they're even old enough to chew solid food. They have a SS# for years before they're old enough to even consider checking their credit score or have reason to. I made sure to put a lock on my son's credit score with all the major credit score agencies so that no one could assume his identity and run up fraudulent charges in his name.
