2nd best bank account?

Hi everyone,

I have looked at the best bank accounts page and Martin recomends First Direct for the £100 bonus, but my wife and me already have our joint account with them - so I won't get the bonus.

What is the 2nd best account to go for?

Thanks,

G

Oooppps, I've put this in the wrong section, could a mod move it please?

    Have a look at Alliance and Leicester's 8.5% current account. If you go via quidco I think you can also get £50 cashback or thereabouts.

    If you ask in the Current Accounts area of the forum, you might get a few more answers. This area's really for savings accounts...
