I went into the HSBC with my passport and something proving my address (i took a bank statment and a utility bill)
The account was open within 20 minutes. I had the account number and sort code there and then. You will have to wait for a card etc to come through the post, but you can get the account details instantly.

Usually you can open a basic checking account in one day. Of course, if your credit history is not very good, it might take longer to find a bank that will let you open an account. If your credit is okay, just go to your preferred bank and ask to open an account. My husband and I recently opened a new checking account, and the whole process took less than 20 minutes.

I'm not sure if you're in the United States or not, but most if not all banks in the U.S. open an account on the spot. If you're not in the states, then another suggestion would be to google "prepaid visa" or "prepaid mastercard" and check to see if there are some that are offered in your area

Go into a bank and take drivers licence, bill, passport and you will be able to open a bank account in about 20-30Min's and then you can go straight back to work and give them your details.
Good luck

Go directly to your bank manager and explain your situation. I know my bank got things done very quickly when I dealt with the manager. Good Luck! ;-)=

You can open a savings account, but it doesn't really take tow weeks as far as I know to open a checking anyway.

Go into the bank and explain your situation. I'm sure they will give you the info you need.
