Applying with a parent's bank account?Hey,
I'm applying online for student finance, but I don't have my own personal bank account - due to banks wanting proof of ID and mine hasn't arrived after sending off for it a couple of months ago. Could I apply with my parent's bank account instead and then change the bank details when I have my ID and a bank account? Thanks. -

Re: Applying with a parent's bank account?You have to apply with your own bank details or your finance would end up getting blocked. Best bet is to submit the application without bank details (which you can do) then update them online in the 'update bank details' tab when you have them.

Re: Applying with a parent's bank account?Brilliant, I'll do that. Thank you very much. I sent off for urgent ID by paying extra but I was a little worried about the looming deadline.(Original post by studentfinanceguru)

@M4LLY; Tried with many different banks. All of them refused without ID, which I don't have. No passport either. -

I do. I was told that it's not proof of identification whereever I tried to open an account.
