Need a graduate account

Hi guys

This is partly regarding the HSBC rubbish they are trying to pull (removing interest free grad overdrafts) and also regarding the fact that I will be working in the US for a few months.

So - need a new graduate account with interest free overdraft and free withdrawals abroad. Any pointers greatly appreciated.

    I went for the A&L premier Direct which give you 12 months 0% overdraft (match current up to £2500). But with 6.5% interest on credit up to £2500.

    You can get £50 cashback through quidco.com.

    RBS do a graduate account with £2000 overdraft, as do Lloyds.

    The only company to offer this facility is nationwide.

    Their overdraft rate is 7.9%.

    If you want fee free overdraft and fee free foreign cash withdrawals you will need two accounts.
