No its not forbidden, it depends on the laws of each state, but most (not all) state laws require to be atleast 18 or if you are under 18, need to sign with a parent. Some banks allow all ages too, so if you live in the right state and have the right bank, you can have your own bank account under the age. You have to be 18 though for credit card.
It is probably more lenient in Germany because German kids are not as irresponsible as American kids
