Bank accounts for 18 year olds who are not students!

I am a working 18 year old with a regular income, currently looking for a good current account. All the ones I have looked at have an age restriction of 21.:confused:

Can anyone advice, please.

  • Is this for savings? Or as a current account? I am 16. No problem for me finding savings accounts and ISA's. Not sure about the current accounts i am just with natwest, not the best. But it has done me ok so far.
  • Maybe I should look for savings accounts instead.
    Thanks
  • as long as you don't want direct debit or standing order facility?

    Which banks have you looked at? I'm sure all the major high street names offer current accounts to all employed adults... maybe not at the best rates but it's a foot on the ladder.
    student100 hasn't been a student since 2007...
  • premier direct 21 would be the best for you. i use that n its a good one. just remember to fund it with 250 each time
