No, it’s not possible without committing fraud. Many countries have privacy laws that are very restrictive for children under 13. However, banking regulations require that certain personal information be collected so banks can properly identify their customers. The two sets of laws are mutually exclusive. Sorry.

Hi, different countries or regions have minimum ages higher than 13. To learn the minimum age in your country or region you’ll need to contact Apple Support in your country.
If you’re in the US, please call 1-800-MY-APPLE, or outside the US, consult the support articles below. In Canada, call 1-800-263-3394.
