Undischarged BKO and saving account

Hi All

Just wondering if whilst I am undischarged BKO if I can have a saving account. Not got a great deal spare but was just thinking even if I only had a tenner a month I could save rather than waste (you know how it is when a tenner is just sitting in your pocket).

Hopefully has my circumstances then improve I can save more and more and one day have a nice little lump sum.

Thanks all

    Yes you can have a savings account.
    Yorkshire Building Society will be happy to give you an online saver, not may other banks will though.

    Thank you.

    Do many people have one whilst undischarged? Is the OR going be ok with it?

    With the Yorkshire bank one can I pay money in at a branch or just via online?

    thanks

    Loads of us here have one :D
    The OR is fine with it, obviously as long as you don't have thousands in there.

    I'm not sure about paying in in branch because I don't have one near me, but you can do it online, by transfer or debit card, and also by phone with your debit card.
