btw, if you can't find a checking account, VISA has a program called VisaBuxx. it's a pre-paid debit card that the parent deposits money into. the receiver can track their use online just like a checking account except there are no checks; all transactions are done by debit card. the parent can monitor usage and set withdrawal parameters. my son did this for a year before he was old enough for Chase High School checking. it was a useful tool for learning simple money management skills.
i think PayPal also has some sort of youth debit card like program.
