Hey David!
Hurry up and turn 18!
I wouldn’t advise this, as there will be some complications later when it comes to identity verification which dictates how much you can spend, withdraw and transfer.
As Alex said, the waiting list only takes couple of weeks and with the Golden Ticket thread you won’t have to wait long at all once you are eligible for sign up.
Current accounts will be available for under 18’s (17 definitely) but we won’t necessarily offer this as soon as we begin the wider current account rollout.
