  • You will get a better response if you ask this in the 'Bankruptcy & Living With It' sub forum or in the Current Account forum. There are some 'real' experts answering questions there.

    No you will not get a student account.
    In fact most banks will turn you away full stop.

    When you are discharged you might get a basic account.
  • Thanks guys - was discharged a year ago now and already have a basic bank account so was hoping that might make the difference because I guess Im not a proper bankruptee now. Will have a look at Bankrupt & living with it forum. Thanks again
