>>reporter: you have to open a bank account and you want to choose one that offers free checking and savings accounts to avoid fees. shop around though. it's important to find an institution with convenient atm's around campus. your kids aren't going to walk away from campus to find the cheapest one. explain to the kids about balancing their account. this is so much easier with online banking. remind your kids that both occasionally so you'll see she unanimous begans going on. if your college student is working they want to help pay the bills. encourage them to save 10% of hearnings that go directly into the bank account. >> it's been a minute since i've been in college but i remember the credit card companies beckoning students to open accounts. should parents advocate using

reform in the credit card industry and they can't lure the kids into get their own cards but let's talk about this. debit cards are definitely helpful in the budgeting process but they don't help build a credit history. they can also be a little bit tougher in the event of identity theft or data breach. we know credit cards can lead to reckless spending and when you cosign you mary your credit late payments can ding their records and may affect their chances of getting a job or renting their own apartment. to compromise how about a secure credit card? these cards limit liability but also establish a credit history. a secured card requires a cash collateral deposit that becomes the credit line for the account. you put $500 in the account and you can charge up to $500.

extend your credit or maybe the bank will reward you. let's get the conversation going and talk to your kids about this. this is a nice transition period to help these kids become financially smart and independent. >> i have a question. the you go over that particular credit card, does the student get fined or have to pay a fee? >> no, they literally can't charge it. it will ding them in that moment. if there's a fixed amount like a gift enough money to make the charge so that's what's good about it. it won't allow you to go over the limit. >> that's a short, sharp shock where was that when i needed it? >> great to see you, thanks a lot. here's lauren and it's cooler. it is definitely cooler across the country. big storms moving through parts of kansas and missouri so severe weather possible in those areas.
