Best bank for a bankrupt.

Can anyone suggest a Bank that accepts a Bankrupt.
I was looking on the net and it seems Nationwide
Barclays and the Co-op bank have basic accounts.

I am self employed and earn around £2600 a month
in consultancy fees + £675 pension.

I am not bankrupt as yet but am seriously considering
going down that route and need to set up a basic bank account
plus a prepaid mastercard (for trading on the internet) as
my present bank and debit card will be frozen.

Any suggestions will be grateully received.

Thanks

    HIya

    My sister went bankrupt a while ago and has managed to get a good bank account with Barclays. They give you a cash card and allow you to set up direct debits if needed (which is always handy).

    Hope this helps.

  • Barclays and Co-op seem to be the easiest to obtain at present

    Coop give you a visa electron, online banking, DD's and SO's and are very good :) (guess which account i've got? ;))

    Barclays also do one but you only get a cash card.
