Hi ibmstyle.

From the previous experience of posters in this forum I think obtaining a business bank account (where you're the owner and director of a limited company) while in a protected trust deed can be a real challenge.

An alternative to the High Street banks that I've seen mentioned in a few places is the paid-for business account with "Card One Banking". I don't have any feedback about it to share with you though.

Hi ibmstyle -

I found myself in the same situation., its super tricky to get any kind bank account business or otherwise until your discharged (in my experience)
I am using cash plus just now, and whilst not ideal as there are charges etc.
The account serves its purpose, there is a facility to create a monthly statement that you can save as a PFD, you can then print it off, though it won't get sent to you, you will have a monthly audit trail. hope this help
