| Re: Solo cards?I don't think you need to be 16, I was 13 when I got mine. That was from NatWest. I believe its a card plus account or something like that/ |

| Re: Solo cards?Only disadvantage to having a solo card is that I can use it with paypal, so have been endlessly spending on ebay. |

| Re: Solo cards?I've had my carplus account with natwest since last year and had no problems. You get a statement every month, and if you want to pay some money in, if you fill in the paying-in slip yourself before you go to the bank you can be inside the bank as little as 30 seconds. I don't know if it's like that in all banks as I have always got the cashier to fillin the paying in slip at royal bank of scotland, and at nationwide I only have a card, no paying in book. |

| Re: Solo cards?I had decided to do HSBC, as they do online banking (natwest don't until you are 16). However, i have hit a large snag. My parents don't want me to have one until I am 16  What do i do?! I can't complete any offers basically without a card. What reasons do you think i should put against them, that I should have a solo card? I just don't know what to say  Help appreciated guys! Ben

| Re: Solo cards?why do you want online banking at 14? you have no need for it! if you have a solo card you can use it online at any age.. but to be honest most sites require you to be 18 (and so do the offers) |
