    It also makes sense to have at least 2 current accounts with different banking groups so you have access to your money if/when one banks systems are down, your card is declined, or they lock your account for whatever reason.
  • I am confused enough with one!..thanks for advice anyway,maybe something i.ll look at when another offer is on.

    It would pay you (literally!) to set up a 'donor' account which you just keep ticking over until you see a switch offer that you like.
    Generally speaking the easiest way to do this is to open a standard no-frills account with your existing bank- it's not rocket science!

    It's always worth contacting anyone/business which credits your account to check that they have the new bank details
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!
