Bank accounts after discharge

We have a sticky for bank accounts for BR's but what about for discharged BR's? Or does nothing change when you are discharged?

    Its still pretty difficult with the BR showing on your files for 6yrs....some members have been sucessfull (but rare) some members have been lucky & had their basic accounts upgraded....its all a bit hit & miss really thats why no sticky ever exsists

    I have a Halifax Easycash account. Still a basic account, but comes with Electron card and online banking. I wasn't able to open this account until I was discharged and had to provide a copy of my discharge cert too. Hopefully in time they will allow me to upgrade it, but to be honest it has everything I need for now.. not interested in OD's etc,etc!
