    My son is 19yrs and in a post leaving cert course.
    He lives at home and has no utility bills in his own name.
    He doesnt have any photo id either.

    Is it possible for him to open a bank account?

    Hi FOXFISH1,

    Thanks for your post.

    We are required by law to obtain valid photo id and proof of address prior to opening an account for a new customer. For more information on what is needed to open a current account with us, please see here.

    Thanks

    Thanks Tara,

    Hi FOXFISH1,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Yes a Garda Age Card will be accepted as photo ID when opening your account.

    If you need help with anything else, please let us know.

    Thanks,
    Sarah
