Can anyone recommend a bank account for a 15 year old? Preferably a current account.

This article discusses pre-paid cards but if you scroll down further there's different bank accounts too.

What does your 15yo say about it? Have they got a preference, recommendations from their mates or anything? Have they seen an app they think is user friendly?
It's generally good to involve them in the decision.

Also, if they don't already have one, get a savings account at the same time. Encourage moving "spare" money over to the savings (but not the other way).

I'd recommend a Nationwide FlexOne account. Interest, debit card, free cinema card. My lot all have their accounts there.
