Young sister received cheque. Don't have bank account
Hello folks. I was wondering if any of you opened up accounts for kids.
My 11 year old sister received cheque in her name and bank teller said he can not cash it because she did not have ID (I wanted to deposit it into my own account with same last name).
She has OHIP which was not understandingbly accepted. She has no DL obviously, no SIN card and passport is expired for a long time. Is there any way to cash the cheque?
And second part ofthe question, are there any benefits to opening up kids account? Which bank would be more ideal for that? It just seems iffy to me opening up an account for a child.
