in Bankruptcy & living with it
Hello,

I have been discharged from my banruptcy for 2.5 years now and really would like to open a savings account. I know this can be difficult for people in my situation but just wondered if anyone can reccomend any savings accounts I could try apply for.

Thanks

    I have a savings account with Barclays, althought the interest isn't great, but then that's probably the case everywhere these days.

    Been discharged nearly two years. Could not open a Co op easy saver but they let me open an ISA!

    Also have a basic current account with Nat West and I also have an Internet Saver account with them.
