There weren’t any reasons to wait any longer, so I hurried back to the bank and opened an account for Maxim. The whole procedure took less than 15 minutes and the only document that I had to show was Maxim’s birth certificate. That time was even enough for me to make the first deposit.
I was promised that a booklet will be mailed to our home address with detailed information regarding this type of account and all involved benefits. Apparently, there are plenty of discounts in shops all over town (clothes, books, medicine, etc) that are linked to this account.
Let this bank account be my present to Maxim for his tomorrow’s 1 year 1 month birthday.
Congratulations!
Should you buy through Maxim’s account? I thought it’s “freezed” account.
Thanks, ma!
Nope. All those shops provide discounts for account owners. Basically, you just show the card that proves that you have created an account for your kid, and you get the discount. Paying is as usual, with cash, check, etc. Money on the child’s account are indeed frozen until the child is at least 18 years old.
Thanks you. Why so “strong”, did I miss something? :)
Nope, sorry. That was my mistake. Fixed now. :)
