Looking to open a new Bank account

I'm looking to open a new bank account that has onlin banking as standard, with a minimum or preferably no monthly charge for using the service. It would also be very beneficial if i can open it with no deposit right now as i would need to open it with nothing and get work to pay into the new account within a week or so. Also it would be usefull if it is easy to add a new person to account ie a joint account.


Many thanks in advance,
DEATH-A-LOT

    Been using Lloyds TSB for many many years, good service, and the Internet Banking facilities are very good IMO.

    Or go with Alliance and Leicester and get the £50 cashback to boot. First Direct also get excellent recs for customer service.

    All accounts look good but i'm not sure which one to plump for.

    I now have another question.

    My partner is only 17 (turning 18 on Friday). Can i open a joint account today with her details, or do i have to wait untill friday? Or can i open one in my name today and get my partner added to the account in a couple of days?
