If You Are Sixteen, Seventeen Or Eighteen
Run It Properly
You can hold your own bank account, set your own hours around study and work, and build a record that comes with you into whatever you do next.
What Changes At Sixteen
-
Paid Straight To You
Most banks let you run your own account on your own from sixteen, so a neighbour transfers it and nobody stands between you.
-
Your Own Hours
Say the days that suit you around study, sport and a job you may already have. Neighbours ask around them.
-
A Record That Travels
Every job you finish and every word a neighbour writes about you stays yours. It is the reference nobody your age has.
-
Nobody Sits On Your Account But You
No form to sign at sixteen. We hold one parent’s name and email, shown to nobody, so somebody can be reached on the one night it matters — and that is the whole of their part.
The Page For Your Parent
Print it, or hold it up on a screen. It says who can reach you, what a stranger sees, and where your money goes — one page, and reading it is all their part takes.
