savings account
susie x ♥♥♥ asked:


My husband has tried to open bank account for the first grandchild but they want so much ID which, living quite a distance from the family we have no access too, besides, we wanted it to be a surprise.
There wont be much money going in the account but over the years it will mount up.
We wanted the child’s tax free savings account.
Is there any way around this?

    Nope, there is no way round it. The fraud prevention rules and regulations are so strict now. You will have to go by their rules and regulations.
