A little help with banking please

keatergreyhound

Im after opeing upa bank account which shall have a regular amount of around 100 in it each month. This shall be my hubbies spending money each month. Were just moving inot a new house so a strict budgets being done so id rather he didnt have access to our joint account. This may sound bad as I love my hubbie very much but hes a spendaholic (£3000 on a push bike)
Its took ages and a hard slog to get debt free and im staying like it.
A visa electron card would be quite good.
I do not have a drivers licence or passport so I cant go into a bank to open an account.
I have been thiking of a prepaid mastercard but I think you have to pay for these. Has anyone any experience of these and how they work?
Can nayone also point me in the right direction of a online run bank account that issues a electron card or similar?
Thanks in advance

In this day and age, you are just as likely (if not more likely) to need ID to open an online account. Do you not have a birth certificate?

I would be inclined to avoid anything as novel as that. A simple current account with no overdraft facility and a debit card would suffice, no?
