Hi i already have a joint bank account with Barclays but my husband & i are seperating so i need to open an account just in my name.
We are in a joint IVA do you think the bank will accept my application ?.

Sorry to hear about the breakup and I am sure the IVA is the least of your current concerns.
Speak to Barclays as they provide a cashcard account for people with financial troubles and with you being an existing customer there should be no trouble at all.

Barclays will open a cash card account for you, it has visa debit and DD facilities as long with phone and internet banking. You also get a very useful mobile app. I opened with them start of this month, despite still being in an IVA, I did tell them at the interview stage, they seemed quite happy to accommodate me.

CoOp Cashminder seems to be a perennial favourite.
Secure Trust Bank, or the card based accounts: ClearCash, Cash Plus, Think Money etc. are also viable alternatives if you have no luck on the high Street.

Barclays are the best first port of call - given that you already have an existing relationship with them.
