Opening savings accounts

[jenand]

Has anyone else noticed how hard it is to open a savings account nowadays? They need proof of this and proof of that and do credit checks! Now, I thought they were trying to encourage us to save!

Even though my husband is the higher earner out of the two of us our bank wouldn't allow him to change his savings account to a debit card account due to problems with his previous address. Need to wait a few months so that his parents address doesn't show and then they will say yes. How stupid.
