    My son was in the same position but decided to give £1 a month to two different charities.
    Both direct debits are set up and he is receiving interest, but one charity has yet to take any money.
    Also when opening some of the top current accounts it's worth going through top cash back.

    Our daughter is still at home and paying our council tax and water bills by dd (and getting cash back) in lieu of rent.

    Perhaps not universally applicable, but I phoned our local council and water company and they didn't seem to care much whose name was on the dd. I understand utility/comms companies are likely to perform a credit check.
