You may be aware of this but banks are currently changing their apr rates depending on how long you have held accounts with them???
This is not a fair practice and do not always stick with the offer they give you, if you query it they will come down a bit (depending on credit status)
past experience with lloyds who i have been with for 15 years i got a quoted figure online of 8.9% when making the application it went up to 20.4%!!! after querying it I ended up with something like 14% i took my business elsewhere and saved another 3%
Bancassurance is most peoples first choice but not always the best
