Bank Account for 17 Year Old

It seems to me that most banks either target young children, University Students or adults. Can anyone recommend an account for 27 year olds going into A Levels, with a part time job ?:confused:

    I'd back the NatWest CardPlus account as well - can be opened from the age of 11, at which point you can't withdraw more than £20 cash at once. DS1 and 2 both confirm that this limit increases once you're 16, "at least £100 or so" says DS1 ...

    But it's also worth thinking about where you can pay money in and withdraw it for free - NatWest is one of those where their 'proper' accounts can't be accessed at the Post Office! :mad:
