I am 18 and want to have my own bank account. I live with my parents and do not want them to know I have another account on my own. Is there anyway I can get one without having ONE piece of mail come through are mailbox?

Rent a post office box. But I believe they will still need a home address. I know people who live in their RV full time and move about the country. They use their children’s address for their mail.
I think As long as you have a physical address on file, banks will typically honor a post office box as a mailing address. All your mail will go to the PO Box but you must be very clear about it. According to regulations, though, there MUST be a PHYSICAL address on file with the financial institution.
you would need a mailing address of some kind of have the checks and debit card, etc. sent to. After that I know Wells Fargo has options for everything to be set up online so that any notifications or statements get emailed to you. You might still get some random stuff in the mail, but nothing about the account directly. The best bet is to have a PO Box or have the mailing address set up at you work or something.
