Yes I do - I opened just before my IVA was accepted. The only question they asked me was "Was I bankrupted" and I said no. As far as I know no credit checks were carried out apart from the normal identity checks. That was in March and so far I've found them really good. I use internet banking alot to pay bills with no problem

Hi
You will be accepted by "Think Banking" and you get a debit card.There is a monthly fee of £12.50 or £17.50 for joint acc plus a £25 one off fee.
It is a good account if you don,t mind paying.
