This was my last chance, and I’m so glad I found Suits Me. It’s been a lifesaver. There are some fees, but they’re reasonable and the account is worth it.

Second Chance Account Benefits and Features
With a Second Chance account, you get the everyday features you need to manage your money – plus a few extras most mainstream banks don’t offer.
No credit check, no CIFAS check
Bad credit will not impact your application. As we do not conduct credit checks at Suits Me, your CIFAS marker will not stop you in opening an account to manage your money.
Apply with alternative ID
We accept over 20 alternative IDs, so a lack of standard ID doesn’t have to stop you opening an account.
Cashback and Discounts
Unlock instant cashback and exclusive discounts when you shop with our retail partners.
24/7 Mobile App
Manage your money from the free Suits Me mobile app. Get instant spending notifications, add and remove payees instantly, and access your account whenever you need it.
No minimum deposit required
Open an account with no minimum deposit needed.
Payments and transfers
Receive and send money in the UK and send money abroad easily. Have wages or benefits sent directly to your account, send a Faster Payment or top up with cash at any PayPoint store.
I’ve Been Refused a Bank Account – How Can I Receive My Wages or Benefits?
If you’ve been refused a bank account, you can still receive wages, salary or eligible benefits into an alternative account that provides you with your own UK sort code and account number.
A Suits Me Second Chance account gives you these account details, so you can provide them to your employer or benefits provider to receive payments directly into your account.
There’s no credit check to apply, and you can open an account online in around 3 minutes.

FAQS
Wat moet ik doen als geen enkele bank mij accepteert?
Ben je al vaker afgewezen? Je bent niet de enige en er zijn nog steeds mogelijkheden. Suits Me is speciaal voor dit soort situaties opgericht. Wij oordelen niet over je verleden; we helpen je gewoon aan een account waarmee je een tweede kans krijgt, zodat je vol vertrouwen verder kunt.
Voert Suits Me een kredietcontrole uit?
Nee. We voeren geen kredietcontrole uit wanneer je een aanvraag indient. Je kredietwaardigheid zegt niets over wie je bent, en het staat je niet in de weg om een rekening bij ons te openen.
Kun je twee Britse accounts hebben?
Ja, dat kan. Er is geen regel die zegt dat je er niet meer dan één mag hebben. Sterker nog, veel mensen gebruiken een tweede rekening om hun rekeningen bij te houden, uitgaven te scheiden of gewoon een nieuwe start te maken. Suits Me is perfect geschikt als hoofd- of tweede rekening, mits je het juiste rekeningtype kiest.
Hoe lang blijft een zwarte lijst van banken in het Verenigd Koninkrijk geldig?
Als u op een zwarte lijst bent terechtgekomen, bijvoorbeeld bij CIFAS of een kredietinformatiebureau, kan die vermelding tot zes jaar blijven staan. Suits Me kan u desondanks een ‘second chance’-rekening aanbieden, mits aan de AML-regelgeving wordt voldaan,
Can I get my wages or benefits paid into a Second Chance account?
Yes. You can have wages, benefits, or any other regular payments paid directly into your Suits Me account.
Will being refused a bank account affect my credit score?
A refused application itself doesn’t damage your credit score, but the search a bank carries out (a “hard” credit check, if used) can leave a mark on your file, and multiple declines in a short space of time may affect how future lenders view you. Opening a Second Chance account doesn’t involve a credit check either way.
