Am I right in keeping my old account ?

Hi Folks

Heres the deal I'm with RBS not the best returns for your money but the customer service at my branch is wonderful been there about 10 years

since getting out of dept I keeped myself on a budget of £50 per week. Always putting any extra into savings

Ive just set-up an A+L account for the regular saver now to me the best option is to leave my rbs accounts the way they are set up a stanging order for £500 to A+L

that would be 250 for regular saver and my 50 a week budget for a year

As after a year they my not offer the regular saver and will of run out of referals so then could easily trash the accounts and move on to the best deal again

without loosing my on-going relationship with rbs

Im I missing something ??

    Well it depends on whether money or a relationship is more important to you. You don't have to close your account down, just make sure that the money you have is working hard for you, maybe set up an internet account like cahoot, ing, icici. Hope this helps, goodluck & congrats on getting out of the debt trap :)

    What would you have to gain by keeping the relationship bearing in mind that their products are not the best.
