I dont think you can. why not just open a basic post office account for both of them, pay in the cheque and £1 and then when the cheque clears just withdraw the £10's, its left open for future cheques then.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -

money laundering rules will prevent this
The FSA may have allowed the banks to fail us all in spectacular fashion, but they do know a money launderer when they see one
you need to open a/cs for them ... a childs saving a/c would probably be suitable0
