whats the best euro account?

nickers

I'd like to open a Euro account for general holiday spending and also to make most of good rate at the moment. I'd like a debit card as well so I can use when abroad. I won't have more than 3000 Euros to put in though. The ones I have seen so far charge a monthly or annual fee and have minimum deposit amounts? Does anyone know any that would be suitable?

Thanks

If this is your main priority, consider Citibank. It is free for balances above £2000 'across your Citibank UK relationship' and their Direct Current Account offers quite good interest rate. See also my post in 'Help with Dollar banking in UK ' thread.

Otherwise there is no need to have euro account. The best account for holiday spending is Nationwide flexaccount.

Why don't you just stick with a Nationwide Flexaccount?
