We have a 14 year old who needs a current account. They have a savings account with Co-operative but I can't find anywhere on their site that provides a current account to someone that young.
Which bank would you recommend?

We went with Nationwide as it was one of the few which allowed for their debit cards to be used with Apple / Google pay at that age.1

That's who my daugther is with, she has a FlexOne account. It does all she wants including letting her use her debit card with Apple Pay, and the application can be done online if the child has a passport so you don't have the hassle of going to a branch.

I opened a Santander 1-2-3 Mini junior account for my son. He took over responsibility for running it at some point (sure it’s in the account Ts&Cs somewhere). It wasn’t used for much by way of savings, but that option is there.
He was able to convert it fairly easily into a 1-2-3 Student account last month ready to start university shortly.Arch1 -
