How does the bank find out about my bankruptcy? before or after my interview with the OR?

where can we get a basic bank account? already been turned down by yorkshire bank and they are supposed to be one of the better ones!!

Thank you will give them a try, jut felt a bit deflated as everyone was quite positive about the Yorkshire bank. We showed our payslips etc and obviously only wanted a basic account so was surprised.

We have tried the yorkshire bank and they refused us, cant work out these banks its so frustrating!!

we are currently sorting out an IVA and will need a new bank account. We have been refused by the Yorkshire bank and I thought they were one of the better ones to try!! Any ideas?
