Bank account to save for a holiday

jogwood_2

Hi can anyone advise if any banks are offering incentives to open an account (not switching)?

I just want an easy access bank account to save for a holiday, but that I can pay for stuff from (e.g. travel insurance, hotel bill etc) or can easily/quickly transfer to a current account to do the payments?

Thanks in advance:

TSB Plus


5% upto £2000, 5% contactless capped at £5, 5% regular saver (that you can transfer immediately to the Plus account via online banking) with a Visa debit card.


Easy way for most and Section 75 protection (even with poor credit history) to pay transactions (holiday deposit of £1+) and abroad with low fees is a Aqua credit card - if you meant pay hotel when abroad.

Not that I'm aware of, but there's nothing to stop you opening a sacrificial donor account (e.g. with your current bank) and using that to switch to one of the banks offering a switching incentive.

Depending on your timescales and frequency of saving, a regular savings account may also work for you, albeit probably not flexible enough for all of your requirements....
