If you are reading this page then the chances are you are thinking of opening your first current account. Congratulations, reading this guide on UK current accounts means you are off to a good start. If deciding between a standard or basic current account Debts will explain the difference and help you make an informed decision.
You may also want to consider how you bank before deciding on where you bank. What we look for in a bank can play an important part in choosing the right account, find out why in our banking methods section.
Not to be missed is our section on online banking – a convenient and fast way to manage your money, but is it safe?
You may be looking to switch your bank account and need some guidelines first. Current accounts with high interest rates can be fantastic but don’t overlook charges and fees. Once you start to compare current accounts, you may feel a little bewlidered by the range of additional features on offer, including anything from discounted concert tickets to home insurance. Our section on account incentives takes a closer look at what banks offer and whether they represent value for money.
We also have advice on student/graduate accounts – there are no few incentives on offer but do they really make the grade? We show you how a bit of homework can really pay off.
