Options
Hi, I have been checking this site to see which account is best for my 14 year old daughter ut i can't find anything.. I want to open an account for her and deposit £200 so that she can dip in when she wants and add birthday money etc. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    As Andy has said, HSBC is a good choice if your daughter needs/wants a debit card.

    If a cashcard rather than a debit card is sufficient, look at Nationwide's Smart Account

    Nationwides good but they took 4-7 days to reply to messages via internet banking.
    HSBC took a day (Sunil you know my banking history by now?).:eek:

    HSBC do a cash card if you don't want a debit card, she didn't ask if i wanted one just assumed i wanted a solo card (which i did!):j
