Account Alerts and Charges

ellisplace

In everybody's opinion, I wish to know which are the best bank account to switch to from smile.co.uk. Which offer free account alerts when the funds are low in a certain account.

Me and my Partner use a joint account to spend on during the week, which we tranfer a set amount in per month. Sometimes we incur charges due to transactions being taken out when we have no money left for the week.

this incurs horrendous bank charges this month £150. Which has prompted my move to another bank.

Thanks for the help

I would recommend for free banking alerts Natwest. They are free and If you went overdrawn they would send you an e-mail or a text with an alert to advise you that you have gone overdrawn and you need to credit your account to prevent overdraft charges etc. What also may be a little safety net is a small arranged overdraft for emergencies. Hope this helps.
