Change bank account

I've an old cheque bank account for donks. Everytime I go into the bank they want me to change to a savings or a personnal. account.

Why are they pushing this and will I be at a disadvantage switching to this account. :eek:

    Sales targets that's why u are being 'recommended' products. The account u have sounds old and has no value to them

    Do you have large amounts of cash earning no interest in the current account?

    Why not look at the range of accounts they have on offer and decide for yourself whether any of them are more suitable for you?
  • Hi al
    Yes its a very old account about 7 years old. Not much in it just enough to cover emergencies. Will take a look at what is on offer but this is an old type cheque account not earning interest
    Cheers all
