It is Christmas time and most of our kids will most likely receive an “aguinaldo” in the form of money from their god parents, relatives and even family friends.

You will be surprised because when you pool those crisp bills they got, they can more or less open up a savings account for themselves. And if your child already has a concept of money, then now is the best time to open up a savings account for them.

Most major banks have kiddie savings account which are basically just joint accounts with their parents but the packaging is aimed at encouraging kids to save up. For instance, they have pass books, kiddie IDs, Kiddie ATM Cards, and some even have welcome gift item for kids

Anyway, if you are looking to open a bank account for your child whether to deposit Christmas Aguinaldos, pooled coins from his or her alkansya or coin bank, or simply to teach your kid to save up money, this post is for you.

I compiled a list of some of the banks that offer kiddie savings deposit accounts. Most of these accounts will require a legal identification for your child like any ID – school ID, government issued ID such as passport, or birth certificate etc. They will also require two valid IDs from the parents, two copies of photos for both the parent and the child, and duly accomplished application forms. Some banks may have additional requirements, hence I have included a link to their website.

Anyway, here is a list of Banks with deposit savings accounts for kids in the Philippines:

  1. BDO Junior Savers– Banco de Oro has the Junior Savers account open to children aged 7-12 years old. Their initial deposit is at P500.00. Minimum balance is at P100.00.
