Cifas marker, now no bank account

My son looks to have a marker against him as his bank advised him if suspicious activity on his account this account was then closed. He opened another account with a different bank but now 2 months later this has been closed. Will he be accepted for a prepaid account anywhere?

Chose a building society account (a basic one) to manage his money.but yes would get a pre paid one if he cant manage with just a basic account

A credit union account may also be useful, I’ve no experience of applying with a CIFAS marker, but they’d certainly be able to advise. Most offer a prepaid card along with the more usual savings and loans

Generally no one will touch him with a barge pole for the next six years including building societies.

Was there really any 'suspicious activity' that couldn't be explained?
