Best Bank Account

Hi,

I'm a recent graduate with good savings looking to get the best out of my money.

I'm wondering which current accounts are the best for earning good interest on money that would otherwise be doing nothing.

I'm currently deciding on my next career move as I look towards a full time career and stable income. Would moving mean I'm obligated to paying in a certain amount each month? Or would it be a case of just moving the money I have over?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

    Not necessarily, but if it's the case, 'paying in' normally doesn't mean salary/income. This is one of reasons why it's advised to have more than one account and with different banks. However, to get a switching bonus you really need to 'move'.
