Hi, I have completed my Iva and received my certificate and was now wanting to open a savings account, I bank with the co-op but they won’t let me have one and I was after some advice on which banks/building society would be best to approach
Many thanks
After some digging around, I have opened a post office savings account following a link on the money-saving expert site, seemed best interest rate available. I am newly in an IVA and didn't want to chance Co-op noticing my IVA if I could help it, in case the close my current account (opened a month before the IVA and not related to it)
I had one with the Yorkshire Building Society (not Yorkshire Bank) opened during my IVA with no problem. Swinton, at the time, also said they would be happy to open one.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
IVA Completed 23rd July 2013 .... C.C. 10th January 2014
