Cash Account
Our basic Cash account is only available if you don’t qualify for any of our other current accounts and you do not hold another UK bank account.
It’s designed to help customers who are in financial difficulty or have a poor credit record. Cheque books and arranged overdrafts aren’t available with this account.
If you’re looking for a simple, everyday ‘no-fee’ account, see if you’re eligible for our Spend & Save account first.
How to open a basic bank account
You cannot apply directly for a Cash account online. Instead, you can apply for one of our other current accounts, like the Spend & Save account online and if don’t qualify, we’ll automatically offer you our Cash account if you are eligible.
Alternatively, if you feel the Cash account is more appropriate for your circumstances and you do not want to apply for any other account, please contact us to book a face to face or telephone appointment to discuss account options.
