Actually, that depends on what state the OP lives in (which the OP did not state). If she/he lives in Alabama, she/he is not a legal adult until the age of 19; banks will not open a checking/savings account in that state until the minor has reached 19.
That is true, there are a small number of states where someone is not a legal adult at 18.
