Why can't you use your NatWest card in your local cash machines, Josu?

Six months ago they changed the step account to a basic account and will only work in Natwest and RBS cash machines. Its ridiculous!

I have a readycash account with Yorkshire Bank. Seems to work in all machin, is a debit card and online banking. Only drawback is you need to go intot he branch to open it. Can't be opened on line.

That is indeed ridiculous Josu! I would try the Co-op as I think they are still accepting people in IVAs.

You can open a basic account with the Co-op over the phone or in a branch

could you upgrade the account to the select account. I managed while in an IVA it's a non-fee paying account, worth a try online. x
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.

Good idea Andy - the Secure Trust and the ClearCash being two of them I could recommend.

I can personally recommend the co op cashminder account.
Discharged today the 8th feb 2012. View is much brighter now.

We had no problems opening a Co op account, we changed to them from RBS a year ago when they restricted cash withdrawals to Tesco & RBS machines. Only draw back is online banking, not as up to date as RBS, takes a few days for transactions to show on your acccount, whereas every transaction with RBS showed up straight away, otherwise OK

Im with Nationwide and have had no probs; their online banking is really good and easy to use.
Last payment made April 2012
