Wages into another bank account

Hi, I'm struggling to open a bank account - can I have my wages paid into my father's account? Are there any implications/restrictions?

Thanks

    But in answer to your question; yes you can.

    If you have had credit problems in the past you might want to consider a Co-Operative Cashminder account or a Barclays Cash Card account.

    Both come with a VISA debit card, online banking, direct debit and standing order facilities - basically everything except a chequebook and overdraft.

    These accounts are open to all applicants - even if you're an undischarged bankrupt - they don't credit score; just check to ensure you've not comitted fraud in the past.
