Can I open a new bank account while I am bankrupt in Saskatchewan?

 

Yes. As a matter of fact, it is strongly recommended that you open a new bank account before going bankrupt in Saskatchewan . Opening a new bank account will make sure that none of your old creditors will try to take money out of your account.

A bank cannot refuse you a bank account unless they believe the account will be used for illegal purposes.

Additional information can be found on the Department of Justice Canada’s web site at http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/B-1.01/SOR-2003-184/17979.html

Even with these rules, some banks may be reluctant to permit you to open a new bank account once you are bankrupt. Therefore, it is a good idea to open a new bank account before you go bankrupt in Saskatchewan , which also gives you ample time to have your payroll deposit and other items transferred to your new account before the bankruptcy starts.
