I donk know of any online applications but Barclays seem to be pretty good from what i have read on these forums.
All you need to do is pop into a branch with ID and if accepted they will tell you your account details immediatly.
Hope this helps.:)0 -

Apply online and you get a Visa Electron card. If you are on the electoral roll, they can verify your ID electronically so no need to send in ID. That's how it worked for me. Now I don't pay extra fees with Flybe or bmibaby0 -

I think the basic accounts accept anyone, there is no credit check as they don't report to the CRAs. Well Halifax don't, but Natwest have decided they want to report my basic accounts....
I had no problem getting a easycash...they couldn't ID me when I was 15/16 though so I had to go into branch
Good luck0 -
HSBC and Barclays do report their basic accounts0

I have my mock driving test tomorrow with an official examiner and a week after that, I'll have my official test.
I know I'll fail but I'll try and work my charm to bribe the examiner. :rotfl:We’ve had to remove your signature. Please check the Forum Rules if you’re unsure why it’s been removed and, if still unsure, email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
