A&L Credit/Debit
Are you OK for making internal transfers on the same day. I transferred money from my online saver account to my nominated account which is my premier account but want to transfer it from there to my new premier plus account, as I can't transfer it direct from my online saver account.

Charity Current Accounts
I have recently been appointed Treasurer of my son's Scout group (Oh the joys of parenthood) and the first thing that I have noticed is that the current account has not been overdrawn in 4 years, and no interest had been paid by Lloyds.

Abbey 6% Current Account
Hello I saw a big banner in a brach of Abbey that was advertising their new interest rate and went in for a chat. It looks like you get 6% on the first £1000 in your account, provided you pay in £1000/month. However the strange bit is that you only get the accumulated interest after being with them for 12 months, until…
