Open a New bank account after bankruptcy
You might find it difficult to open a new bank account
As a bankrupt you might find it difficult to open a new bank or building society account. The best thing to do is open a basic bankruptcy bank account.
In the UK when you file for bankruptcy your bank accounts immediately frozen. This puts people into a state of panic as they don’t know what they are going about getting their wages paid.
If you are a bankruptcy and need a bank account then the first thing to consider is opening a basic bank account. Basic bank accounts are specially designed for people on low incomes or with bad credit history such as a bankruptcy order or CCJ
Bankrupts are in a difficult position as their choice is very limited to few banks offering bankruptcy bank accounts.
This is a serious problem and the government and its various regulatory bodies have recommended a change to the Banking Code to ensure that basic bank accounts are not unreasonably denied to those who are bankrupt.
