The full range of bank services should now be available to you – if you already have a current account, contact your bank to let them know you are 18.
If you’re opening a new account, you may find accounts especially designed for younger people or students in particular, which offer special features; take a good look at them to find if these particular features would help you.
Whatever bank account you have, you should make sure that you use the services to your advantage: see our pages below on telephone and online banking, standing orders, direct debits, overdrafts, credit cards, debit cards, cheques and loans.
