Read our guidance
There are many types of accounts, and it pays to know what they’re used for. Our guides are a good starting point:
Research your needs
It’s important to consider:
which type of bank account you need
how you want to deal with your bank
switching, if your current bank isn’t offering everything you need
Have your documents ready
You might be asked to provide proof of identity by the bank if you decide to open an account. This can include:
your passport and a recent bill with your name, date of birth and address, or
a letter from a responsible person who knows you, such as a GP, teacher, social worker or probation officer
