Quick & Easy UK Bank Accounts
 

I am 15 years old and I have got my new stealth account up and running, but I can't list any more items until I verify my paypal account! I am looking for a way of getting a bank account quickly and easily without taking another trip down the high street. Or are there any banks which allow you to open a new account online quickly with a new sort code and account number? Ideally I would like to have a new account in a few days if possible.

The fact you are only 15 in the Uk it is not likely as don't you need parental approval and stuff like that.

But good on you at 15 and having so much drive

Trip down the high street is best, online accounts wouldnt be any quicker, you wouldnt find yourself with an account number or sort code until you returned some photocopied documents. If you take all you need into a high street bank you can often get account numder/sort code on the day!

Hi, most uk banks will allow you to open accounts online, but to prevent fraud they will need to post you out documents to sign and return, so online accounts compared to going down the high street will not save you any time. The best you could hope for is having an account set up in a week.

Some online banks will not allow you to set up an online account since your under 16 however, best to shop around.
