Hi
I think that they are supportive of people in IVAs
Just be sure to be upfront with them and ask for a basic account with no credit facilities.

Agree with Andy, and just to add to the advice given I would recommend a face to face appointment.

Majority of the basic bank accounts on the market do not include a debit card (usually a cash card), Halifax are one of the banks that do offer this as well as online banking with their basic bank account.

I believe Halifax are quite receptive to those individuals proposing an IVA.
