The Best Bank Accounts For A Teen?

rjhilton56

Hello,
Iv left school (so i am 16 years old) i am going to collage what means i will be entitled to E.M.A and posibley a parttime job druing the summer holiday.
So i would like to open a bank account what i am able to use on In shops and on the internet.
I was thinking of going to R.B.S as some of my familey use this bank but i
have a feeling this would not be a smart move.




I have like no knollage about credit cards. So could you please recomend a bank for me to go too and the reasion why so its easy for me to compaire..

Thankyou.

You've got another 2 years to wait before you can get a credit card.

Forget about extra credit for your student years, rely on student loans/grants and part-time jobs to fund it, then when you get your job at the end of it you'll be quids in.

Would it be wrong of me to suggest that you forget about credit, stay on at school and hammer the English lessons?

I know, it was just me being snide.

Kidding aside, Canny Jock's advice is best.

At 16 you're unable to get credit.

Bank account wise, there's a few options available to you. I'd say that RBS is no better or worse than any of the others for youth accounts.

I would say give natwest a try. Also their adapt account comes with a solo debit card which you can customize :T , but beware that every time it will cost a fiver to do so:eek:
