Savings Account.

Hi all.

I'm looking for a basic savings account where I can put money in each month by DD and if need be, get to my money in an emergency. Problem is, I don't have the best credit score so I don't want to be applying for an account I won't even get.
Please do not feed the Trolls!

    Savings account should be no problem as they will only give back what you have in the account.
    This is an open forum, anyone can post and I just did !

    Practically any savings account from any bank or building society will be suitable. Yorkshire Building Society's internet saver is instant access and even provides an optional cash card.

    As already said most building soc and bank will be ok ,,check the interest rates first however.
    Do note that most don't actually provide DD paying in facilities but you can pay by BACS or standing order etc.
