Hi lin and welcome to the forum

This will depend upon the policy of your individual bank, so I suggest you give them a call tomorrow to ask the question.

As far as I am aware Nat West won't allow undischarged bankrupts to hold an account with them. I would recommend the Co-op Cashminder account, which comes with internet banking and a Visa Electron card. The only other bank that I am aware of that will allow an undischarged BR to open an account it Barclays.

Just out of interest, does anyone know if Alliance and Leicester will allow people to open accounts AFTER they have been declared BR? So far I have only heard of people having A & L accounts that were opened prior to BR.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is the present - a gift to make the most of.
