I had a Co-Op Cashminder account ( two actually) during my IVA and I believe they are pretty popular.

The Co-op does seem to be a popular choice.

Swapped to a co-op cashminder account for the duration of my IVA and had no problems at all but I did manage the account responsibly so no idea what they are like if you mismanage your account.
Still bank with the co-op now.

Also Nationwide are good.
Surprised you were able to get a savers account - Co-op aren't known for giving them out.

I read somewhere about Monzo, I quite like them myself, but I only use my account with them as a secondary account to my co-op account, somewhere I can stash those allowances I need to save and little extras like the council tax I haven't paid on Feb / Mar and my share of any overtime.

Co-op here too.
I have not had any problems and stayed with them after I finished my IVA.

As soon as my credit file cleared the Co-Op converted me to a full account and offered me a credit card !
