You should be able to open if your mom is also an owner of the account.
It depends on state laws and banking regulations. Some states do not allow minors to open a checking account. You can always open a savings account with or without your mom.
Parents can set up accounts for children in banks


either full use or deposit only. For the deposit only the bank requires both your signiture and your parent -co-signer to withdraw money. You however may deposit money anytime in the account with only your signature. Check with your bank about the rules for cashing checks against the account.
