    Not really!

    If you're willing to bank online it's so little effort these days to have accounts with institutions other than your 'main bank'.

    Is there a particular reason you wanted one?

    I have acurrent account with RBS, but none of their savings accounts temp me. My relationship manager :rotfl: tried to sell me on their 3 year bond "Receive monthly interest of up to 5.84% Gross". Too good to be true? It certainly was when you read past the headline grabber.

  • I have one of those RBS direct saver accounts.

    Not fantastic interest rates, but I use it primarily to chuck some cash into so I can't instantly spend it!

    I also have one of their instant access ISA's, again interest rates are terrible, but it's handy to fill up one I have the allocation of funds from the Direct saver account ;)
    :exclamatiTo the internet.. I need to complain about something!
