DRO & Opening Child Account
Options
Hi🙂
I currently have a debt relief order, due to be discharged in September 2025. My question is it’s my daughter’s birthday soon and I would like to open up a bank account to put money in from family members etc. Is this something I am able to do whilst having a DRO or is it best to wait until I have been discharged?

Just answered your other question!
It's not a problem. Easiest way is just to open a new account with your existing bank. I've done this online a few times.
