YOU HAVE TO HAVE AT LEAST 2 FORMS OF LEGAL IDENTIFICATION TO OPEN ANY BANK ACCOUNT. LICENSE, STATE-ISSUED ID, PASSPORT, ETC. USUALLY ONE PHOTO AND ANOTHER, LIKE A SOCIAL SECURITY CARD, OR A BIRTH CERTIFICATE. AT LEAST, THAT'S HOW IT IS HERE IN MA.

As a very general rule, no you cannot.  You must be 18 to legally sign any contract.

Yes it is.  All countries in the EU have similar identification requirements, although the forms you have to sign will be slightly different.  They cannot refuse you a bank account just because you're from the UK.

Most locally owned/operated banks offer free accounts for kids, with no minimum balance. My teen has one.. at one time i think her balance was 11 dollars(lol) just call around... should be easy to find.

Most banks will open an account for you, however a credit card is an extension of credit which the application is a legal document.  The bank must follow the law that governs your state.  State law dictates how old you must be to sign a legal credit agreement.  Each state is different.  You will need to contact your bank.

in order to apply for a credit card you must be at least 18 years old. you can have your parents get you a card as long as they are the ones who sign for it. no minor can sign into a legal contract until they are 18

You can't. The minimum age to sign a legally binding contract is 18 minimum, and in many cases 21. You would have to have a parent do it for you. Decide on a short list of options on exactly what you want to do with the money, maybe look at a few of the ads for discount brokers after entering a stock symbol on Yahoo Finance so you can tell the parent what you think it will cost on top of the actual cost of the shares, and ask them to help you acheive your goal of investing in --SHARES of corporate stock.

He needs to grow up and be responsible. Yes, if he has an account the bank will help him. He will need some proof of identity.

You must be 18 years old to open a Saving's account...however, your parent or grandparents may open a savings account listing you as a minor.  Then you can deposit your money, but you may have to have 2 signatures to draw it out.  There is usually a minimum balance required on Savings accounts, usually $50.00 to $100.00.  The only other alternative to a double signature to with draw would be if a Debit card were ordered with the account, and then money can be drawn on the card thru an ATM  Hope this helps........Banks differ, but minors cannot be held liable. that is why an older adult is most  of the time required on the account with the monor.

i think working and earning money is a good way to learn the value of money and how to be responsible with it.....16 is probably a good time to start.....but really your never too young if you have the desire and the right type of job...i would suggest at 15 that you can start as a check out chick at a supermarket....but if mum says no help her around the house to earn a little pocket money.....that way she will be able to see that you are responsible enough...and who knows maybe she will change her mind.....

18, you must be a legal adult. OR have forms stating you are emancipated. All underage people must go diretly to passport control.  \nNo mail in's.

I used to work for one of the biggest banks in U.S. for 4 years, opening accounts and doing loans, and I was allowed to open a savings account at about any age (usually 15 and up), for checking accounts, we were allowed to do 17 and up.  The overall policy of the bank is 18 and up for any account, but individual bank regions have some flexibility on the rules.  If you are 17, or even 16, and you really want a checking account, check in with the 2 or 3 largest banks in your area and you might get lucky.\n\nIf you have an adult to co-sign with you, you can open a savings at any age, checking will still have limitations.  I've opened checking accounts for 15 and up with a co-signer.  I'd give them a debit card, but not the checks.\n\nThe banks in general don't like to open accounts for people under 18 without a co-signer because a minor cannot sign a contract and be liable for it, so if you overspend your account by a couple of hundred (or thousand) dollars, they can't really go after you.  That's why they want an adult there, so someone can be held responsible.\n\nHope this helps.  Let me know if you have any other questions.
