It depends on your circumstances and luck with the bank. I had accounts opened instantly and other referred for ID checks. I don’t know a lot about accounts for minors, but surely there is a branch of a bank where you are to go in and open an account.
Edit. Why not wait to start work and open an account with the bank you’ll be working for? Assuming it’s a retail bank/they have a retail bank division, course. They should be able to handle that in-house.
I have one with them but it’s a student account, worried that they’d either scour my transactions, or tell me to close it as I finished my course. You can’t really get away with it I’m thinking if you work for them.
They all require appointments in branch. And yes I’ve had mixed luck too. Really regretting switching so much tho I did get £375 in bonuses.
Starling teen bank account? Once you’re accepted, you can add the debit card to Apple/Google Pay straight away (or at least you can with the regular adult account).
Just call the bank and ask to change your account type if that’s your concern. Or apply for a new one with the current provider. It shouldn’t matter you finished studying, they will change the type - either automatically when they realize or manually.
My TSB student account didn’t change for 3 years after graduating… they couldn’t care less.
There are many solutions here but talk to your current bank. If your concern is not being able to get paid make sure you’re able to get paid. The bonuses T&Cs usually mention you must be over 18 anyways…
Not true, There;s one off the headrow, but maybe they don’t do appointments there. I wish you the best of luck anyway, goiing to Middlesborugh is ridiculous
