Student Checking Account

Start building financial independence right from the very beginning with a Partners 1st Student Checking Account.

This is a great account for our younger members who are looking for ATM surcharge refunds,* which is great for college students who may be attending a university out of their home bank's ATM range. This way, they can use non-Partners 1st ATMs without the fear of having to pay fees.

If you're 13 years of age or older, you can open a Student Checking Account to start your journey to financial literacy and freedom.
