This bank would cater exclusively to children. Its employees would be trained to teach children the basics of working with money. Since contracts with children aren't legal the parents would have to sign on and since the amounts are so low the parents would have to pay a little for the privilege, but
I'm sure many would find it worthwhile. They would start with a basic teller-only savings account and graduate up to self-managed investment accounts, bank cards, and even stocks and bonds.
