New 'safe' bank account for DMP

Billy_Dandy

Good evening to all,

I have cancelled my direct debits to my creditors. Just yesterday.

I still have some 'safe' direct debits in place for insurances and rent etc.

My creditors are:

Lendable Loans
MBNA credit card
Halifax credit card
Virgin Money credit card
Newday credit card
Barclaycard

I currently bank with HSBC

I'm reasonably sure that none of the creditors are connected to HSBC.
I don’t particularly want to change banks but, If I decide to change banks, are there any recommendations? I'm thinking Cooperative as there is a branch near me.

Thank you.

None of those are linked to HSBC as far as I know, so there should be no need to change.

If you use do evet change then I always recommend Monzo and Starling as their apps are so good. When was the last time you used a branch?

Thank you. Haven't been to a branch for many a year 😊

100% Starling  (or Monzo I guess) ... just the ability to have the separate boxes for different funds is awesome.
The App is superb too.
