You can open an account at any bank with service in Hawaii and CA, as long as you have a parent or another adult also on the account.

There are no banks that I know of that allow minors to have a bank account on their own because minors are not allowed to enter into a legal contract.

I think US Bank there are tons of them across the US unlike most other bank. There are like 15 just in this somewhat small city I live in. I can access my account from anywhere across the country.
