Savings Accounts with Free Banker's Draft Facilities

I have a Halifax savings account which I can use for Banker's Draft if I need them.
When I go bankrupt this account will be closed. I will be unable (I think) to open another savings account with them.

Does LloydsTSB offer this type of account? I cannot find any reference to the BD part of it on the web.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

    You need to declare all bank accounts, when you file for bankruptcy. The OR will decide what to do with each account, and will normally allow you to open a 'basic' account, or keep one of your accounts, for salary payments etc.
    As it is unlikely that, during you BR period, the bank would allow you to have other than a basic account, you will, unfortunately, probably lose this facility.

    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.
