Choosing the right current account

Having a bank account can help you keep a track of your finances and save money. But with lots of different types of accounts, it can be hard to work out which one best suits your needs. The MoneyHelper easy-to-use Compare bank accounts tool can help.

The Current Account Switch Service makes switching your current account between banks and building societies simple, reliable and stress-free. The switch will be completed in seven working days and your new bank or building society will take care of moving all your incoming and outgoing payments, your outstanding balance and closing your old account. Any payments made to your previous account will be automatically directed to your new one and you can enjoy the peace-of-mind offered by the Current Account Switch Guarantee.
