    'Bad credit' is far too vague.

    Generally, all basic accounts are aimed to people with bad/no credit histories.

    Why / what for do you need a new account?

    If you are getting turned down for a normal bank account (are you? where have you tried?), a Basic Bank Account should be your first port of call.

    If you are getting turned down for those too, Cashplus might be a way forward for you. But it comes with lots of charges so you only want to consider it as your very last resort.

    So might be Pockit*, and it doesn't look expensive to use except 99p for ATM withdrawals.

    *If your employer can make payments with the required 'Reference'.
