Halifax are currently doing an offer of £100 if you take out a current account with them which is tempting really but I don't know anything about them.
Things I'm interested in are them being easy to contact and knowledgeable and helpful when you do get hold of them, good online and mobile banking services with easy online transfers and payments, good general management of the account i.e Natwest allocate funds that are going out a few days before if they're due to go out on a Monday, this really helps you know where you stand and stops you accidentally overshooting with your spending.
I'm coming from Natwest who really work for me so would be a nightmare if they turned out to be arse but atm I need every penny as I've gone back to being a student but with the costs of a family/nursery/2 cars and mortgage
Any comments, good or bad? Cheers
