    Like Colsten said above - Santander let you open an account online even if you're under 18. https://www.santander.co.uk/personal/current-accounts/123-mini-current-account 
    The first mention of the 123 mini came from wmb194 - I just repeated it  :)

    I attempted to open some junior accounts a few weeks ago and the Royal Mail have apparently lost my applications (and original ID) as it didn't turn up at the building society...

    So what did the tracking system tell you about how far it got in the system?  Are you putting in a claim?
    Well what a coincidence: I've literally just received the application back through the post with a big red sticker on it saying it can't be delivered as the address is incomplete. I posted the application at the end of March and used the "FREEPOST Name" one-line address. What a joke Royal Mail are. There's also one of the pieces of ID missing but glad to have the other birth certificates back. Riding the coronacoaster...
