Unless Natwest are one of your creditors, then you could try their basic account.

I live in the West Midlands. Thanks for your advice. I think the best approach is to go to the bank themselves, explain my situation, and hope this will go some way to allowing me to put my bl**dy money in their banks. Unbelievable isn't it, that it is so difficult putting your own money into their grubby little coffers. It's nice to know I am not the only one who feels like this.
The minimum purchase is £100, and I doubt many of us have that to spare each month!

I have a natwest step account, yet when I tried to open a savings account I was declined. So what I do now, is any extra pennies I have left over at the end of every month I put on my 02 pre-paid VISA card.

If you read his problem you will note that he MUST save to pay off his tax and insurance at the end of the year and I doubt that he would be paying less than £50 a month. Its not 'spare' as you seem to imply.
Personally speaking, I think a proper savings account would be better if he can get one.

I agree with Jan, while Premium Bonds are great and can be cashed in it I feel it would be better to have a normal savings account so he can get at the money without any hassle.
Or, kalf could open a second cashminder account to put his money across to.
