What's wrong with the local AIB or similar for a first account ?
To set up a revolut ac you need to have a bank account to top up initially by 10 euros.
This approach should not be taken. One of the reasons the transaction is made is to complete AML steps. Using someone else's account is not a recommended - if the account is ever frozen, as N26 are currently doing, it'll be difficult to get it unfrozen if you can't show them the Bank statement with the same name on it.I'm sure one of her parents won't mind doing that so not really a factor.

But if her parents' name is on the sending account it should be OK I would have thought (provided they have the same last name). It comes down to whether she will have lot of non-Euro transactions because of travel or online shopping. If everything is in Euro, a basic EBS account would be sufficient. If not, she will be ripped off left right and center if she goes with an Irish bricks-and-mortar bank, even if their basic current account is free.This approach should not be taken.
