If you are only 14 they wont normally open up a standard bank account for you - for example I dont think they can let you have an account where you can go overdrawn until you are 18. But you can get an AIB 2nd level student account from 13 so thats ok. As you are under 16 you will need a parent or guardian to sign the relevant forms :(
The AIB website describes the account and includes terms and conditions - I've put the link below. I cant see any requirement that you pay in money on the day you open the A/C although the branch may try and persuade you to do so. they may ask why, if you have no money to pay in, then why open an account? Maybe you want to use it for recieving Paypal payments in which case I think you'll be ok in you explain. You really need to go in to your branch and ask although you can probably get the forms online. Good luck and ignore most of the answers above - they havent read the details of your question.
By the way, AIB (Allied Irish Bank) are a very well known and reputable bank. |

Depends on the bank and the type of account. I personally use three different banks. One has no minimums for anything, another has no minimum for checking and a $1 minimum for savings, and the third has no minimum for checking but wants $250 for savings. Different banks different rules.
You're best bet is to go around to all the local banks they'll probally have some form of literature that you can take on their accounts. Scan through the information there and see if it says anything about minimums if not, go and ask someone. You'll find that banks are usually very nice to perspective customers. Once you have all the information from all the banks take some time to sit down and read through it all. Compare what each one is offering to all the others you went to and pick which one you think is the best for you....thats what I did anyway.
Hope that helped, good luck. |

Yes, without doubt. Used to be a pound in my day, probably more now, some say one hundred. Have a look through http://www.moneysupermarket.com/currentaccounts/ you might find the right account for you on there. |

Yes usually you do - in the region of £100 for a current account. |

yes, that depends on the bank. Some banks may require a minimum balance. Try to find a bank that offers free checking. You will still need some money to deposit to open an account. |

yes, certain banks have different minimum requirements for how much you need to put in but i don't think there is any bank you can get with no money to put in it. i'm going to say you'll need fifty to a houndred to put in the bank but it really changes from bank to bank |

Yes, you do have to put money in to set up your account. Different banks require different amounts. Also, interest you will receive varies from bank to bank, so do a liitle research and check out which bank you can get the most from. Good luck! |
