I mean there are plenty of legitimate reasons. If you want to give your child financial autonomy so that it can learn to budget, I think an online bank account may be a good idea.
But I don’t get the OPs point though, many banks offer adult-managed accounts until majority that only need an ID, not a face scan.
Because some day they will be an adult who needs to know how to do things like buy groceries and pump gas. Hell, a 16 year old can have a car and a job, but not be allowed to pay for anything?
edit: that said , I’ll be using AI generated faces for everything.
