Basic Bank Accounts

Aug 05, 2004 6 Replies

Hi,



my brother is looking to open up a basic bank account.


1) What ID will he require?


2) Can he have his wages from his job to be paid in?


3) Will he be able to pay in cheques?

Thanks for your time...


Have a read of

which should answer all your questions. Regards Sunil

yes to all 3. he just cant do standing orders and other fancy banking. i recommend the Nationwide as he can upgrade it to a Flex account once they see some wages going in.

Number 2 is up to the employer. Some more traditional employers will only pay by cheque, others pay cash.

I dont want to nitpick but he asked for details on the bank account not individual employers practices. Therefore the answer is yes to all 3 as far as the Nationwide Basic account is concerned.

Nonsense. How can the answer to "What ID will he require?" be Yes?
