    With barclays you use the right to internet banking and I believe phone banking as well, so you have to go into branch or a cashpoint to check your balance.

    With the co-op you keep internet and phone banking, which I really like as it helps me to budget.

    dj no - you need to call them and ask for the cashminder one, they will probably ask if it is definitely that one and not the basic one, I just said it was that one as we were going BR and that was that.
