I opened a Co-op account about 10 days prior to declaring BR but hadn't received the account details when I submitted the SOA so the details weren't on the form and the account wasn't frozen. I mentioned the account at the OR's interview and they were fine with it.

Other option is a managed bank account they are not frozen
