Hi all,
Lo and behold it turns out I have a working class background. That won't come as a surprise to my mum who sewed blue collars all day and dad who was a professional protester and seller of the Socialist Worker. You may remember him as "swampy".
Can someone recommend a good account for me as paypal is too middle class.
thanks!

Wow been a long time since I read the "Socialist Worker". Goes back to my mature student days in the early 80's.
Everyone I know has a working class background. I have a working class background too. My answer as to which bank account is suitable for someone with a working class background is any and all of them. If you consider yourself to have socialist roots it's probably going to be Nationwide or even Triodos.
The division of bank accounts is more related to income and/or capital and not to social class: i.e. you're unlikely to get an international private bank account with a personal account manager if you're getting 73 quid a week on the dole!0 -

Swamy aka Daniel Hooper was an environmental protester. Last seen in 2013 working as a tree surgeon for the Forestry Commission in Wales and living in a yurt. Very middle class and not SWP.

P.S, Bank accounts don't discriminate on socio-economic class. And Paypal don't do bank accounts anyway.0 -

Don't bother with banks at all. Just open your brown envelope every Friday and use the cash. Try not to spend it all at once.0

Their marketing blurb includes "Because today’s hyper-connected world deserves a financial partner just as progressive", but they obviously meant 'hyper-corrected', if that's not too circular a comment....0
