What's the going rate for kids' allowances in 2025?
What's the going rate for kids' allowances in 2025? Show Caption Hide Caption Trump vowed economic relief, but Americans say they're struggling President Donald Trump promised to end inflation and bring down food costs right away after he took office. Here's what Americans think 100 days in. Despite inflation, most parents haven't increased their children's allowances. The average weekly allowance for children aged 5-17 is $37.19, but the median is $20. Digital payment methods like Venmo and direct deposit are increasingly used for allowance. Inflation may be on most Americans' minds while they're at the grocery store and gas pump, but not when they're doling out their kid's allowance. While 29% of parents have increased their kids' allowances over the last year to keep up with inflation, 65% have not, and 6% have decreased the amount they give their children, according to a new Wells Fargo survey. 'Whether or not the allowance has changed, the stark reality is that what kids are spending their money on has definitely increased,' said Louann Millar, head of student banking at Wells Fargo. 'That Starbucks that used to cost $3 is now $5.' The survey found that 71% of American parents give their children an allowance, but the amount and way they transfer funds largely depend on their children's age. Here's what to know: What is the average allowance by age? The average weekly allowance for children ages 5 to 17 is $37.19 in 2025, according to the survey. However, that number is affected by some parents who give high allowances. The median weekly allowance is $20. Allowances generally rise as kids age. For those ages 5 to 8, the average is $31.50, and the median is $15. Those ages 9 to 11 get a little more, receiving a weekly average of $34.32 and a median of $20. For those 12 to 14, the average is $36.05, and the median is $20. The oldest kids, or those ages 15 to 17, receive the most – a weekly average of $44.88 and a median of $25. More: Groceries, phone bills, rent? Where parents still help adult kids financially When do parents give kids an allowance? Of parents who give their children allowances, a third regularly give and a quarter occasionally give their kids ages 5 to 8 one. Millar said allowances are a good way for parents to teach their children about positive money habits, such as budgeting and saving up for a big purchase. She said starting young isn't a bad idea. 'Parents know and think it's a good idea to talk to children about money early on,' Millar said. 'Almost all of them think it's important to let kids make those small choices early on, because there are guardrails for them.' The most common age for kids to receive an allowance is between the ages of 9 and 11. Half of parents regularly give, and 29% occasionally give children an allowance during that time. Allowances are also common as children become teenagers. More than 70% of parents said they regularly or occasionally give their kids allowances when they are between the ages of 12 and 17. Allowance and the tooth fairy have gone (somewhat) digital Cash remains king when it comes to allowance, but digital payments are increasingly common. At 73%, many parents give cash for allowance – and half give it exclusively, the survey found. However, nearly a quarter of parents are also using peer-to-peer payment apps like Venmo to send allowance to their children, and 20% are using direct deposit to their kids' bank accounts. Some 14% use prepaid debit cards for the transaction. Older kids are less likely to get cash than younger kids, but even 18% of children ages 5 to 8 are receiving allowance via direct deposit. Millar said she's seen parents open debit cards for children that young. It's a sign of the times. 'I don't use cash at all,' Millar said. 'If anybody gives my kids cash, they will immediately turn around, give it to me and say, 'Can you send this to me electronically to my bank account?'' What about the tooth fairy? The pivot to digital payment is even affecting the tooth fairy. While she still most often leaves cash, in 2025, she'll use peer-to-peer payment methods 11% of the time. The survey found that some 7% of tooth fairy payments come in the form of gift cards. 'Maybe when you forget to get cash to leave in the tooth fairy pillow, the digital options are a really nice way to be able to make sure your kiddo wakes up with something,' Millar said.

Are Banks Open on Juneteenth 2025? List of Holiday Closures
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Juneteenth, occurring annually on June 19, is now a federal holiday, impacting many federal and state offices. It also means your bank is likely to be closed down for the day. The holiday has been commemorated as America's Second Independence Day, and several companies may be updating their hours of operation in honor of the federal holiday. Why It Matters Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. Celebrated annually on June 19, it marks the day in 1865 when the last enslaved African Americans in the U.S. were informed of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. Months later, in December, slavery was formally abolished via the 13th Amendment. Juneteenth was officially recognized as a federal holiday in June 2021. What To Know Because Juneteenth is a federal holiday, many banks will be closed throughout the day. This includes major banking institutions such as: Bank of America Chase Bank Truist PNC Bank Capital One Citibank The New York Stock Exchange also closes for federal holidays and will subsequently be closed on Juneteenth as well. The U.S. Postal Service will also be suspended for the day, with no mail delivered. However, FedEx pickup and delivery services will remain operational, and FedEx offices will operate on a normal schedule. Most retailers and restaurants, however, will remain open on Juneteenth. Those in need of groceries should expect their neighborhood Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Aldi, and Kroger stores to be open as usual. Nearly 30 states also recognize Juneteenth as a state holiday, meaning state workers will also get the day off. Private companies have the discretion to decide whether they will give employees the day off or not. A Citibank branch in Washington, D.C., as seen on May 31, 2025. A Citibank branch in Washington, D.C., as seen on May 31, People Are Saying Truist wrote on its website: "In general, Truist observes the Federal Reserve holiday schedule (some subsidiaries and affiliates observe a different holiday schedule)."

For holidays falling on Sunday, all Federal Reserve offices will be closed the following Monday.

Redemption Bank becomes the first Black-owned bank in the Rockies
Redemption Holding Co. has completed its acquisition of Utah-based Holladay Bank & Trust, making it the first time a bank has been owned by a Black-led investment group in the Western U.S. The newly formed Redemption Bank will be the first Black-owned bank in U.S. history not physically located within an economically vulnerable community, the first in the Rockies, and the only one located in the Black-banking desert that stretches from Houston to Los Angeles. The bank, with roughly $65 million in assets, will focus primarily on doing commercial lending and creating a dedicated team for small business loans. Ashley Bell, CEO and chairman of Redemption Holding, told The Associated Press the company will launch a fully digital platform at the end of summer, enabling it to service small businesses across the country. The company will remain headquartered in Salt Lake City, a city with a Black population of under 3%. 'We found an exceptional business environment in Utah, specifically in Holladay, along with a bank that has a clean balance sheet and a state with the highest average return on assets for banks in the country. We are committed to competing in Utah to earn the business of customers from all backgrounds,' Bell said. The original purchase of Holladay Bank was announced in 2023, but Bell said the transaction got delayed due to the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank that year. 'This process has undoubtedly taken longer than any of us anticipated,' Bell said. 'However, we are grateful for the diligence of the staff at the FDIC, the leadership of the (American Bankers Association), and the renewed sense of urgency from the new administration this year, all of which helped bring everything together.' Bernice A. King, the youngest child of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., is expected to serve as Redemption Bank's senior vice president for corporate strategy and serve on the company's advisory board. The company will be the 24th Black-owned bank in the nation, which are known as Minority Depository Institutions (MDI). The last created MDI, a federal designation for banks and unions that are owned or directed by minority groups, was Adelphi Bank in 2023. MDIs began in the 19th century when Black Americans, who could not get loans from mainstream banks, organized their banks and associations. They also provided financial services and economic opportunities in low-income neighborhoods. The Civil Rights Movement spurred the creation of more MDIs as Black people experienced a financial boom and began to build stronger communities. In the late 1980s, Congress officially created MDIs through the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (FIRREA). Redemption Holding purchased Holladay with a group of investors that included Ally Financial Inc. and Central Bancorporation.
