Anyone know if a bank would let me open an account by myself without my parents. I'm 17 and it would be convenient for me to have for these offers and stuff. (Debit card)

doubt it, you usually need a cosigner, and like 100$ atleast to deposit.

A chick with her boobs bouncing. But NO! They will not allow you to open an account. You do need a cosigner for every bank account out there if you are under 18. I had to open a savings with my parents name on it. I asked if I could open a checking by myself and they told me I needed a cosigner.
