plenty, personally I would go for the building societies.
I opened one with Nationwide. ok it only has a cash card no debit card, but apart from that I run it like any other bank account. I have standing orders, direct debits, on-line banking, savings account.
and I was bankrupt when i opened it, credit histories dont come much worse than that.

The process to open an account in the UK is pretty much similar in all banks, building societies etc.
Your best bet is to check how made your credit rating is AND go about trying to correct it.
You may find hope if you want to open say a standard savings account with no chequebook and credit card as the bank won't be taking such a big risk on you.

To keep your good credit rating is a must. But a bank may not find out your bad credit. I had a friend who had difficulty in getting a bank account when he came out of Wormwood Scrubs so they do find these things out.

I had this difficulty many years lower back. i found that the perfect one became nationwide. they're going to easily grant you with a effortless account yet they are going to grant you with an account even if different banks have refused you and they have elementary to save on with on line banking. in addition they're going to allow you to save on with for more desirable centers once you sense your credit status has greater, probability is they are going to deny you yet you're allowed to save on with each and every 6 months. They wont grant you with a debit card regardless of the actuality that, which sounds stupid to me because it is your money you go with to spend.

As long as you aren't bankrupt NatWest do an account called a STEP account it offers a cashcard and direct debit/standing order facilities but no cheque book or overdraft.
