Benefits offered to these checking accounts do not apply to Chase First Checking accounts. Only the parent/guardian who opened the account can fund, view or manage this account. You can open a Chase First Checking account for your child who is 6-17 years old.

Our Verdict
We wrote about Chase First Banking before, and they’ve now added a $25 bonus as well. The fine print indicates that you can get two Chase First Checking bonuses per customer which might mean you can add two kids and get $25 each for a total of $50. Worth clicking through separately each time if you try.
We don’t usually post small bonuses, but this one is being sent out widely and is a no-requirements bonus which some will find worthwhile.
