Attractive current account offers??
I'm going to open a second current account to allow me to better budget non-essential home and garden spending (like on cushions and plants). As it won't be my main account I won't be transferring DDs etc, nor will I be paying in more than about £60 a month. I thus won't be eligible for the great deals that are out there…

Halifax Reward Current Account £100 Eligibility
Hi all, looking to hear form folks who have made the switch to this account. The click-thru has a message stating: If you've had cashback for switching since January 2012, we're sorry but you don't qualify.

123 account new T&Cs
Just had the usual notice of new T&Cs from Santa. Clause 18.2 now includes "We may also close or suspend your account if it has been inactive for some time" This comes into effect on 1 Oct.

Lloyds basic bank account
Hi there I'm trying to help a friend out with her finances, and she says that Lloyds have restricted her to a basic bank account with a cash card only, as she doesn't pass their credit check for a debit card.

Received a foreign cheque - I want the best rate
Hi there, I've just returned from Australia and have a cheque for approx $10k which I need to cash. When I compared the interest rate of my bank (paying the cheque straight into my a/c) to the XE.com interest rate I was losing around £300 in what I presume to be the poor exchange rate (there was a small fee of around £12 I…

Switching bank accounts
I've switched bank twice this year for the introductory offer of cash. This has enabled me to reduce my credit card bill now down to under £200 from just over £2000. All good. I see the new wave of deals from HSBC and TSB. As I've switched so much, is this likely to affect my re-mortgage application come September or…

Can afford to save on paper, not in reality
Hey all, So according to my SOA I should have no problem saving a chunk a month, but the budgeting tool begs to differ showing a £40pcm defecit (mostly due to e-cigs or full fats, and lunch purchases). My current spending habits are funded by the 0% interest bank of Mum and Dad where I borrow week 3, and pay back in full…
