You can apply online, too. Fill in this form and one of our advisers will take you through the application process.

Since there's no credit check required, you won't even have to wait while we carry one out. Your account could be approved within minutes.

Why don't we carry out credit checks? Because there are absolutely no restrictions on opening a new bank account with us. As long as you're a UK resident aged 18 or over, we guarantee you can apply for a bank account with us.

Of course, nothing is more important than your security, so you will have to prove your identity, as you would with any financial service.

Is it a basic bank account?

Not everyone can open a 'standard' current account. A lot of people will find that a poor credit rating gets in the way - that banks simply won't let them open an account because of the way they've handled their finances in the past.

However, a bank account is pretty much an essential part of the modern world, so banks provide basic bank accounts to give people in that situation access to banking services.

But basic bank accounts are just that - basic. Our current account offers far more than a basic bank account. Even though it's open to people with poor credit ratings as well, plenty of people with an excellent credit history are enjoying the benefits of thinkbanking right now.
