Re: Banks.
Lloyd's have been very good to me and have a current account that comes with a range of free gifts like cinema tickets or magazine subscription and a good rate of interest. The account is free to operate if you pay your wage in, otherwise its £5 a month.

Re: Banks.

Re: Banks.
No such thing as a good bank, just some that are less worse than others.

Re: Banks.
Another vote for First Direct here, best bank I have been with by a huge margin IMHO.
For various reasons I also bank with Barklies, Santader & Lloyds, but none of them even come close to FD.
Incidentally believe that the Swiss branch of their parent company have proved useful for you international playboy types D41.
Hth.

Re: Banks.
Depends what you want it for! If you're over here for a while, you might consider one of the 'premium' bank accounts. I pay for my bank account with Lloyds but with that I get free travel insurance, mobile insurance, aa membership etc.
