Hi It depends on what you are looking for from a bank, and how soon after discharge you are. Some banks wont touch you until the bankruptcy drops off your credit file.
And there is the managed accounts too whereby you pay a subscription from £4 to £17 a month which come with a variety of services.
There is the undischarged bankruptcy friendly banks which would allow you have an account at discharge bankruptcy point these are Cooperative Bank, Barclays Bank and Coventry Building Society Money Manager account with cash card.
suprisingly my wifes abbey / santander account was not closed during bankruptcy.
Our day to day account has been the coop cashminder they have been very good, we have even transfered car and household insurance to them
Abbey was not one of our creditors but santander has its fingers in many pies so i think that we owed them money somewhere along the line.
we are in the process of accessing the account, they do not appear to have a problem with us as a customer, but only going to keep a small amount in the account at first, in case they play games.
Hi can anyone reccomend the best bank
