ABOUT BASIC OF BANK ACCOUNTS
BASIC OF BANK ACCOUNTS
There are still around one million adults in the UK who are completely out of the banking system and do not have access to their bank accounts. The basic bank account is a common type of account that helps in rectifying the situation.
Despite easier access than ever before to personal finance services, there are still millions of adults in the UK who are completely out of the banking system and do not have access to their bank accounts.
Many of these people are unable to obtain a standard account due to past financial difficulties or lack of a positive financial history simply because they have a poor credit score. While high street banks are always eager to deal with people with good credit ratings, they may be wary of creating credit facilities like overdrafts for those with sub-prime ratings.
A new type of bank account is needed if the government of the industry meets the goal of increasing financial inclusion and a basic bank account is born. A basic bank account, also known as a starter account or starter account, is a very simple type of account that offers little in the way of credit or credit to account holders. There is usually no overdraft facility, no checkbook, and no debit card. Accounts simply provide a means of payment over the counter or electronically and are withdrawn by cash machines.

This lack of facilities means there is little risk or cost involved for banks, and therefore their approval rates are very high. In fact, the only ones whose application will be denied are not undeclared bankruptcies or have a history of fraud or a history of very serious misconduct.
So how do you get a basic bank account? First, most accounts allow you to set up a direct debit to pay your bills and this will save you money as many companies will give you a discount if you pay this way.
Also, the government is moving towards direct payment of all accounts and pension payments without going to the old method at the post office counter, and basic bank accounts will allow you to receive money this way. Finally, this type of account can be a stepping stone to other financial services, helping you build a better credit rating and take advantage of other services like overdrafts and debit or credit cards in the future.

Native accounts have been very successful ever since they were launched and now around 5 million accounts have been opened. Both the government and the banking industry say that they are committed to increasing this number further over the next few years, unless ideally every adult has some bank account, and so we can look at basic accounts in the near future. I can look forward to hearing more.
