TD’s 60 Plus Senior Checking account, available to customers age 60 and up, is our pick for its no opening balance requirement, easily waived fees, and the interest it pays on deposits.

We chose U.S. Bank’s Student Checking for its low opening balance, low fees, and free amenities including a debit card and an initial box of checks.
