Interviewer InstructionsSHOWCARD M3. 'Basic bank account' is not a descriptive term. A basic bank account is a simple account available to everyone regardless of credit rating. You don't get a cheque book and you can only spend the money available in your account, so you cannot go overdrawn by more than a small amount. The names of these accounts are listed on this card.
