According to Money Saver HSBC and 1st Direct offer 1.31% interest on their current bank accounts. However I cannot find this offer on the respective websites. Please comment

    I think Digon may mean moneysavingexpert. If that is correct then I've no idea where on the site it says you can get 1.31% at HSBC or First Direct - there are some pages that show some places you can get 1.31%, but in those cases it is for Virgin and are for savings type accounts.

    Ok, here's a comment:
    Don't know what you're reading but neither HSBC nor First Direct offer 1.31% on current accounts.
    You're either mis-reading something, or reading something that's telling porkies.
    Or, possibly, winding us up.
