This is all a bit exclusive. Widening membership should not be down PayPal or electoral roll or having a bank account (since this would exclude people aged 17 years old and under).
You can have a bank account when under 18. I think my bank let me get my own account (rather than my mum having an account in my name) when I was 13. Obviously, you can't get any kind of credit facility (which includes standard debit cards), but that's not an issue for us.
Aha. Seems there are accounts for the 11 to 15 age range (Barclays, Santander, etc)
But I think membership should be open to all..... id checks will exclude some.
