Savings Account for baby

I am planning to open a savings account for Sabv. The most common requirements needed to open savings accounts for your children are one or more of the following. If you have them, just bring all of them, in case the bank officers ask for them.

• Birth certificate of your child (This is the Number One requirement, and can be the sole requirement in certain banks.)
• School ID or enrollment card, for students
• Photos of child, usually two 1x1 pictures, just in case
• Parent's IDs and photos for In-Trust-For (ITF) accounts for younger children
• Baptismal certificate, just in case
• Proof of address, just in case; can be a recent utility bill or credit card statement
