How to open a bank account for a minor?

It is important to keep in mind that only the father, mother or legal representatives of the minor can open a bank account in his or her name. But, at what age is it possible to open an account for a minor? If your daughter or son is between 0 and 17 years old, he or she can enjoy his or her Sabadell Primera account.

To create a bank account for a minor is necessary:
  • National Identity Document (DNI) of the father or mother.
  • DNI of the minor for whom the bank account is to be opened.
  • Family record book.
But once the bank account is opened, who is the account holder? The father or mother must keep in mind that it is the minor who appears as the only holder of the account, while they appear as legal representatives.
