Absolutely no requirement to prove where the child resides. This is, of course, dependent upon you being a current RBS customer. https://www.rbs.co.uk/current-accounts/childrens-accounts/revolve_account.html#:~:text=Provide proof of ID (like,ll get an instant decision.

Go to Revolut, or GoHenry or Starling All offer online kids accounts and take minutes to do, and when done don't forget to email RBS to explain their system has lost a 14 year old as potential customer for life. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Think we will have to look around. For Scott it was a piece of piss as he did it when he was 16 and had a few letters lying about. It is ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbaxters Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Language barriers. Recently moved country and don't speak Spanish. Learning again that language or the lack of it, can make you feel like an utter moron. No amount of, "it will take time" platitudes are enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonD Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Why are plain crisps marketed as 'Ready Salted'? I know the salt used to come in a wee blue twist of paper that you added yourself, until some genius came up with the idea of adding the salt at the factory, which meant they truly were 'ready salted' and people had to know that to save them hunting for the blue bag that wasn't there. But that was nigh-on sixty years ago so surely people have got the message by now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reporter Joe Bloggs has been across the facts for us... Listeners who've been across the radio today will be familiar... I've not heard this anywhere else but now I can't unhear it, several times a day. They use it on Sportsound as well, and usually in the middle of a barefaced lie.

If she's 14 doesn't she have a YoungScot card and/or letters from school they would accept? Or a doctors letter? I'm with Barclays myself because I moved to England at the time and they were the only bank that would accept my provisional and birth certificate.

Here is what the website says - what are you seeing that's different? Provide proof of ID (like a passport), plus proof of your current address for yourself and the child or teen you’re opening the account for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pedantic c***s will reject that on the basis it's not addressed to your daughter and only shows where you live, not her. In fairness, they'd be right but the initial problem is their stupid requirement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they wouldn't be giving you this many problems if you were trying to sign her up for a credit card or a loan! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
