THE DIFFERENCE

We think it important to tell you the difference between our bank account opening service and others.

We are different to others because with us the following applies:

· 1. You do not have to go to the bank in person.

· 2. You do not have to answer awkward questions.

· 3. You do not have any credit checks.

· 4. You do not have to fear rejection.

· Please note that facilities from banks and other financial institutions can change at any time and without notice. We reserve the right to offer you the nearest alternative should this arise.

OUR PROCEDURES ARE AS FOLLOWS

Once a completed application form and fee are received you will receive bank opening forms for your signature.

You need to return these with one item of identity off lists A & B ( these must be originals).

Your criteria will be put before the relevant bank for you. You will then receive a bank account number, sort code etc.

For many years we have endeavoured to assist people who have found it difficult to obtain personal & business bank accounts. We have outsourced this to several companies who have assured us that they could obtain such accounts. They actually completed so few that we made a decision earlier this year not to continue with the outsourcing. Instead we try & direct clients towards the better sources of getting accounts. Our advisory department on 0870 199 3871 will still assist you .Basic bank accounts are designed for people who find it hard to get an ordinary current account.

Basic bank accounts are designed for people with little income or who have a poor credit rating and they're an excellent start for anyone who's not used to having a bank account, not least because they're much easier to get than current accounts.

Any wages, benefits and tax credits can be paid directly into the account and you can usually pay bills by direct debit and/or standing order - something could help reduce your bills, as having a bank account means you can get discounts on services such as gas and electricity. You'll also get a debit card giving you full access to cash machines and your account can also be operated through the Post Office as well as the bank your account is with.

However, you do not get a cheque book and nor will you get an overdraft limit, although that's no bad thing if the account is being used by someone who needs to keep a tight rein on their budget. Nevertheless, having no overdraft facilities means that if a direct debit bounces, you could be charged outrageous penalties, perhaps £35 or more. A few companies such as the Nationwide and Co-op will even offer basic bank accounts to people who have just gone bankrupt - a godsend for anyone who suddently finds themselves with current accounts that have been frozen by the Official Receiver.

But it might be better for those of you who require a very basic account to apply for:

The Co-Operative Bank Cashminder

A more basic account, designed to give you maximum control over your money. No overdraft is available but an Electron debit card gives you access to your cash. You can have your wages, salary, pension, benefits or other income paid straight into your cashminder account. You can also arrange to make regular payments from your account via standing order or Direct Debit, free of charge.

An Electron Debit Card

This is the key to your account:

Use it to get money from any LINK cash machine anywhere in the country.
Use it to get cash from your account at any Post Office™ branch.
Use it to pay for goods or services anywhere displaying the Electron Card.
Use it to get cash from your account at many supermarkets and other shops that display the Electron sign.

Standing Orders and Direct Debits

You can make regular payments from your Cashminder account free of charge. These will be made on - time, every month (provided there is enough money in your account).

To find out more about the Cashminder account phonethe Co-Op on: 08457 212 212

The Co-operative Bank is a member of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme established under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. In respect of deposits with a UK Office, payments under the Scheme are limited to 100% of the first £2000 of a depositor's total deposits with the bank and 90% of the next £33,000, resulting in a maximum payment of £31,700. Visit www.fscs.org.uk for details.

what has been deposited in their banking institution &
are therefore inclined to be more liberal in their lending and/or financing policies.
