§ 17:12B-81 — Minors

Minors may be members and shall be entitled to all of the rights and privileges and subject to all of the duties and liabilities of membership to the same extent as persons over the age of 21 years. A minor may endorse for credit to his account with an association checks and other instruments for the payment of money which are payable to him or to his order. The association shall pay any moneys to the credit of such an account, from time to time to, or pursuant to the order of, such minor. In all transactions with respect to such an account the minor shall, as between himself and the association, be deemed to be the absolute owner and to be of full age and legal capacity. A minor shall also be permitted to obtain a loan from an association secured by a pledge of his account. In all transactions with respect to such an account loan, as defined in section 5 of this act, the minor shall, as between himself and the association, be deemed to be the absolute owner and to be of full age and legal capacity. No minor shall be entitled to vote until he shall have attained the age of 16 years. This section shall also apply to all Federal associations having their principal offices in this State to the extent that the section is not in conflict with Federal laws, rules and regulation.
