Savings ac for my nephew

December2012 · 2013-07-19 00:33:52

Hi peeps, I hope you can help me. I was thinking about opening a savings ac for my nephew that I would put a small weekly amount into for him. I don't have his birth cert (he doesn't live in Ireland and was not born here). Will a bank let me do this? I wanted to do it as a surprise - he's a baby and I wanted to "give/tell"…

Unfortunately it will not be possible to open the account in the name of the nipper as you are not his legal guardian and would fall foul of the anti-money laundering legislation.

I think you need a birth cert or passport for these now too.

My sister-in-law bought one of my kids prize bonds and she never asked us for any id for the child, yet it is still in the childs name.
