Help choosing new bank account

ruby_eskimo

Right, I am currently with Natwest. I have a student/graduate account with them, a savings account and an ISA. I have recently been the victim of fraud (since they brought in the Visa debit card, I haven't used any new websites [only use paypal] or gone to any new shops) and they have annoyed me with the whole process. I don't trust the Visa debit cards and I really don't want a credit card.

So I'm looking for a new account. I want one with internet banking, where I can have a debit card that isn't visa, with a bank that won't collapse any time soon and that has a good ISA rate.

Any ideas?

Hiya, I would recommend barclays. A good solid bank with good internet banking and some very good savings rates compared to other high street banks. The account does come with a visa debit, However you might be able to have just a cash card if you needed too. Also the isa that barclays have has a good rate of 3.10% which is again much better than other providers. Another great savings account is there monthly savings 3.25%! Barclays is the way forward!:beer:

The only banks left that don't issue visa debit are Clydesdale Bank,Yorkshire Bank, Bank of Ireland and Northern Bank. And you have to be a resident in Nothern ireland to open an account with Northern.
