I have just got an solution a little bit easier do get an list out of an JSON object. Hope this can help.

I got an JSON like this:

{"Accounts":"[{\"bank\":\"Itau\",\"account\":\"456\",\"agency\":\"0444\",\"digit\":\"5\"}]"}

And made some types like this

    public class FinancialData
{
    public string Accounts { get; set; } // this will store the JSON string
    public List<Accounts> AccountsList { get; set; } // this will be the actually list. 
}

    public class Accounts
{
    public string bank { get; set; }
    public string account { get; set; }
    public string agency { get; set; }
    public string digit { get; set; }

}

and the "magic" part

 Models.FinancialData financialData = (Models.FinancialData)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(myJSON,typeof(Models.FinancialData));
        var accounts = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(financialData.Accounts) as JArray;

        foreach (var account in  accounts)
        {
            if (financialData.AccountsList == null)
            {
                financialData.AccountsList = new List<Models.Accounts>();
            }

            financialData.AccountsList.Add(JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Models.Accounts>(account.ToString()));
        }

I have a solution a little bit easier to use. Hope this may help.

Provided a JSON like this:

{"Accounts":"[{\"bank\":\"Itau\",\"account\":\"456\",\"agency\":\"0444\",\"digit\":\"5\"}]"}

You can create some types, like so

    public class FinancialData
{
    public string Accounts { get; set; } // this will store the JSON string
    public List<Accounts> AccountsList { get; set; } // this will be the actually list. 
}

    public class Accounts
{
    public string bank { get; set; }
    public string account { get; set; }
    public string agency { get; set; }
    public string digit { get; set; }

}

then, the "magic" part...

 Models.FinancialData financialData = (Models.FinancialData)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(myJSON,typeof(Models.FinancialData));
        var accounts = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(financialData.Accounts) as JArray;

        foreach (var account in  accounts)
        {
            if (financialData.AccountsList == null)
            {
                financialData.AccountsList = new List<Models.Accounts>();
            }

            financialData.AccountsList.Add(JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Models.Accounts>(account.ToString()));
        }

EDIT: My english got a lot better :D
