Natwest Overdraft
I have a student account with Natwest and have a Overdraft set up with them, does anyone know what the charges are if any if I decide to use the overdraft? And what sort of timescale would I be looking at to repay the overdraft? Thanks
RBS to Santander, don't want to go
Hi, just popped over from the DFW board I wonder if anyone can advise me please. I'm currently on a DMP which is running very smoothly at the moment, and part of this is an oustanding loan and o/d with RBS. I've been with RBS for 28 years and, whilst I understand that there is no such thing as loyalty, they have been very…
Money Managing Software: how useful/safe is it?
Whilst trying to get to grip with my family's general finances, I've come across a whole lot of money management software (quicken, msmoney, gnucash etc). I've never used anything like that before but was wondering whether it could be helpful for various members of my family who are worse than useless with their money.…

So he rang…

We've recently opened a joint account with Barclays. My partner already banked with them so we thought it would be quite simple to add me. So off we went to the bank, got me added to the account and told that I would receive my card within in 5 to 10 days. When this card didnt arrive we went back to the bank, only to be…
£50 for opening a bank account with hsbc
I found out about this just this morning. Open a new bank account and use their switcher service and they give you a reward of £50. I am serial switcher so have applied online. Hopefully by the time I get my £50, Santander will bring back their £100 offer! :)
For the love of God, can anyone help? Santander Credit Card
I'm practically beyond my wits end. Currently in Tibet where I found out (from my parents) that Santander have now cancelled my creditcard. If my parents hadn't sent me the email they had from the bank, I'd never have been told! No notification to me (Just checked online) and did I mention I'm on the other side of the…
