#1 daughter became 18 on Friday, started a holiday job and wanted a bank account.
Log onto bank website, type in ID number. It auto fills a form to which you have to add expected earnings, educational level and profession. None of which do you have to prove.
2 minutes tops.
Walk into any branch of the bank with your ID card. Show ID card, get your fingerprint taken, give a specimen signature, and get handed Visa debit card, Internet banking instructions, and account details.
No proof of address, they don't care where you live.
Walk out of bank within 10 minutes fully equipped.
Debit card only, no overdraft, no credit card, no loans. Electronic banking for everything including statements and in/out transfers. All can be done from your phone.
They don't get much right here, but I thought that was pretty good and perfect for a first bank account.
And another example of how easy ID Cards make life.
