Are you on Paperless Statements - read this.
Ive had an account with Nationwide for years and have always used their online banking service. As such, Ive never really had the need to receive paper Bank Statements thru the post so I chose the "paperless" option.

Thinking of switching banks and need advice
I've been with HSBC for around 15 years now (it was Midland Bank when I started) and I'm thinking of leaving. I've never really been happy with the customer service, and they've stopped paying interest to my account unless I pay to upgrade so I've always suspected there would be a better deal for me elsewhere. But this…

Citibank - a bank to avoid if you want Faster Payments or any customer service
Just a word of advice to anyone tempted to open an account with this incredibly amateurish banking operation - don't even think about it.

Is anyone else participating in this? Personally I won't move my money totally out of NatWest but will certainly keep the balance as low as possible Today, Move Your Money Month begins.

A Current Account That Won't...
allow you to go overdrawn. Does such a thing exist? I think it'd be great to have a second a/c that just declines any payment that puts you in the red. Very naive question, I know. :A
