where can i get a bank account when i have bad cred?

Answer 1

Either go to a bank or credit union. Most have a minimum of $50 to start with.

A credit union you have to open up a savings account $5.00 and keep that in there the entire time you are a member!

Answer 2

In the UK a while back the government required banks to offer non-status accounts for those without access to bank accounts. Unfortunately not all banks began these schemes but Abbey National, Nationwide, Barclays and a few others do offer them.

They are pretty basic but you can set up direct debits, standing orders etc. and you do get a cash card. But you don't get a debit card or a cheque book or an overdraft.

Answer 3

Skip the banks all together and get a membership to a Credit Union. Pawn some jewerly for cash and open up a zero balance required checking account. Credit Unions are less likely to screw you. Banks will screw you unless you are vigilant.

Answer 4

Show up with some cash, and any bank should let you open an account. It'll have a minimum balance, and it might have some fees, but you can get an account.
