Basic Bank Accounts

seven-day-weekend

What do/don't you get or can/can't you do with a basic bank account?

I ask in case my son's bank follows First Direct's example and starts charging a tenner a month. He is on benefits and can't afford £10 or to have another product.

Thankyou.

It varies from bank to bank. The good ones will offer telephone banking, debit card, internet banking and the usual frills excluding obviously any form of credit, cheque book and usually interest.

I can recommend:

Natwest - Step Account
Yorkshire Bank - ReadyCash Account

Both offer the above services. Hope that helps.
