Best High Street Bank

Another vote for HSBC. Telephone service has been polite (and has made decent recommendations as to how my money could be made to work harder - not pushy, just helpful), counter service very efficient, branch service superb... I honestly can't recommend them enough. As I've said elsewhere, they've done more in two months to keep my loyalty than Barclays, NatWest, Lloyds TSB and Alliance and Leicester did over the course of two years.

Personally I have Barclays and Halifax, and find Halifax service much betterm also find their online service clearer... I guess its horses for courses, but I get 6% interest on my current account with Halifax and have some great benefits i.e. Higher savings rate, RAC cover, Free travel insurance amongst other benefits. I was with HSBC but closed it after an appalling service on the phone.

PROLIANT

After my life with halifax i wouldnt p**s on them if they were on fire! :eek:

HSBC are very good.

Personally i would say the Bank of England, they seem to hand out Billions regardless of your financial status, just ask the other banks

abbey by far. low OD rate and no charges for going over OD rate as long as i pay the difference back in the day of the D/D.

I just hope you don't have to ring their call centre as they are mainly based offshore
