UK Basic Savings Bank Accounts
If you cannot obtain a UK current bank account with cheque book, debit card or even an ATM cash card then there are some very basic savings bank accounts available for such people.
These basic savings bank accounts are ideal for undischarged bankrupts or others who find it difficult to obtain a bank account. Most are completely non-status. We are currently putting together the most comprehensive list available of all the UK basic savings bank accounts for those with some form of bad credit that require the smallest possible opening deposit.
They are usually operated either by passbook and/or ATM card with a few even offering a cheque book and debit card. If you have an adverse credit history and are interested in a 'real' UK personal current bank account with debit card or even a cheque book then see our UK bank account page where you will even find current bank accounts that are available to undischarged bankrupts.
