how can someone open a bank account when they have a bad credit history?
If you approach your local bank(s) and explain you have a bad credit history and that you need a bank account they MIGHT let you have a basic account which means you can use “electron” or some similar scheme which only allows you to pay as long as there are funds in the account – otherwise open a savings account which has a card then you can withdraw cash at the link machines…. good luck!
