Hi all,

As from Feb i finished my IVA and just had a couple of months enjoying the fact that i have money to spend again but it's now time to start saving.
With not having a bank savings account i was wondering if anybody could advise me on a savings account that would be best for somebody just finished there IVA.

My IVA was extended by 6 month so that makes it only another 3 month to go then it's the 6 years from starting my IVA so i can not decide to Waite another 3 months before i do anything.

Any advice anyone

    You won't normally be credit scored for a savings a/c so you can apply for any - provided you meet the individual a/c criteria. So for example, for First Direct's 8% saver you need to have a current a/c with them - you won't score for the current a/c so you won't get the saver.

    But just check the conditions to see what is required.

    I have 2 payments left on an IVA and I have recently opened a Santander 3% e-saver.
    I am employed as a manager in a financial services institution. My views are entirely my own.
