Is it worth opening a completely new bank account so that I can use my money as I like? Are there any catches or downsides I should consider when having two bank accounts
I am 21
Recommendations for banks?

If you are under 18, you are out of luck. If you are 18, you can set up an adult account,

Depending on your age and mental state, I would open a new account in another bank and close the one mother is controlling!
Common Sense
If your name is the only one on the account, all you really have to do to maintain your financial privacy is to simply change your pin number on your ATM card and your User ID/Password on the on-line banking feature. This will disallow your mom to have access to your money.
I am shocked beyond belief that you are 21 years old and in the height of technological access and cannot figure out how to make your account private.
If your mom is on the account, you may have to open a new account and DO NOT share your information, pin numbers, user name or password with your mother.
There are simple solutions to simple problems.

2 bank accounts could mean 2 service fees.
