Hello fellow money savers:
I'm currently looking at the best current account that pays a reasonable amount of interest. I'm not interested in accounts that cost. I'll have a couple of direct debits and about £2500 paid in each month.
What are people's thoughts, good account, good customer service etc.
Thanks guys.

How much of that £2500 are you planning to retain as savings?
Current accounts are less lucrative than they used to be - you can get 5% interest on up to £2500 at Nationwide (for a year) and/or 3% on up to £6K at Tesco (using two accounts) and/or 2% on £15K at Bank of Scotland (using three accounts), see these and other options at http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/banking/compare-best-bank-accounts#interest
Personally I pay absolutely no attention to subjective perceptions of customer service when looking around for return on my money, especially in market conditions like this, but if you're swayed by that sort of thing then have a read through http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/banking/2017/02/barclays-bottom-of-mse-customer-service-league-as-first-direct-retains-top-spot0 -
