I really enjoy my experience with Telco. Very friendly people to work with and they are a lot of help, which is great because I’m a college student! Thank you, Telco!

Upon the Minor’s 18th birthday, the All-Star Savers account will be closed and all funds will be transferred into the Regular Share savings account.

Upon (or shortly thereafter) the Primary Owner (Minor)’s 24th birthday, the Student Checking account will be converted to the Premier Interest Checking account product type.

The optional limits are a $300 daily spending limit and $100 daily ATM limit.
