Hi
I'm wondering if there's a bank account that doesn't require any kind of ID to open?
I'm not trying to do anything dodgy, it's a long story but I'm 18 and have no sort of valid ID and can't get stuff such as a provisional drivers license. I've got so many annoying things to solve before I head off to uni next year and this is one of them....
So yep... anyone know of anywhere?
Thanks!

I dont think any legit bank would let you do so. I am not accusing you of anything here just saying in general, most legit banks wouldnt allow it to happen.

The above poster is right. However, if you don't have a driving licence or passport, speak to the bank first. I'm sure they've met people in your situation and found ways around this.

There are online debit card accounts that you can open though, which can be paid into like a regular bank account. They all charge monthly fees and for certain types of transactions. Some require ID, some don't. They are called 'prepaid cards'.

If you want, then I've got a "contact" who can open up an offshore, tax-dodging, Swiss bank account.
No ID or proof of address required.
Just a small fee for our troubles.

I thought if you opened your account online (and managed it that way) you wouldn't need the ID?
Though I have to say I've only seen that possible for savings accounts, not current accounts..so...

I know someone that is not legit in the country, so no UK ID whatsoever, who has used one for receiving wage payments for the last 5 years.

There are many ways to get a bank account without having photographic ID. Just check with the ID requirements of the bank you're interested in. They generally require a DWP letter and your birth certificate.

I know with Santander, they did say (it doesn't apply because I have a passport now) that if I didn't have a certain form of ID, they can sort something out.
