I need to set myself up a bank account pretty sharpish, as I'm applying for next years EMA soon (I'm 15, 16 in July).

I've looked at a couple of banks online, but I don't really know what kind of thing I should be looking for.

Natwest have the best interest on their CardPlus account, but my muv says I don't need to be worrying about interest, as I'm not gonna be saving much.

None of them really mention any extras, etc etc.

Does anyone know any good youth current accounts, from personal experience?

At that age I was with yorkshire bank and I didnt really find them helpful but then again I never came accross too many problems. HSBC are pretty good but to be honest im not all that sure if it makes a difference at your age, i cant really advise unless your looking for bank account that will last you the next 5 years at least.
