    Available for both iOS and Android devices, the app isn't just for you—your parents can also use it to review your account activity, send money, and more.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is Fidelity Youth®?

    Fidelity Youth® is an app designed to help teens ages 13 to 17 manage and invest their money while developing lifelong money skills and habits.

    The app is where teens can access the Fidelity Youth Account: a teen-owned brokerage account that comes with a debit card.1 With Fidelity Youth, teens can save, spend, and invest all in one account. Parents can also use the app to monitor their teen’s Fidelity Youth® Account, send money, set up allowance, and learn alongside their teen.

  • What is the Fidelity Youth® Account?

    The Fidelity Youth® Account is a teen-owned brokerage account that comes with a debit card. It is not a joint account or a custodial account.
