What bank account?

[Khare]

Don't need to have fancy apps or anything to access the money instantly, it's money I plan on touching for stuff like holidays, big spends and new car (yes boys and girls, I'll be changing at the end of this year for something a little more buoyant  ), so it's not money I'd need immediately.

First direct. Can't fault them, but you need a min amount going in each month or they'll charge.

Wouldn't be able to have that, some months I may put in, some I may not.

If you look at my car history you would see a pattern emerging

I rate HSBC, especially how there online banking works compared to several banks I've tried, but I wouldn't touch your bank or the abbey, the words useless come to mind.

What your after might be an ISA or another saving scheme, or if you just want money aside without a constant saving pattern and want flexibility of when you may want the money why not get the bank to open another account and request that you don't want a card.

I sold my passat the other day and the guy gave me business cheque which I deposited in Lloyds TSB and the f***king banker got nuts and closed my account after doing some sort of verification saying they can't verify where did I get this money from 

I asked to see the bank manager and she said the same. I gave them every piece of sh!t I can think of and walked out fuming

The one thing that frustrated me about HSBC was filling in a paying in slip every time yuo make a deposit in a branch.

I'm with Santander for my current/joint/e-saver and ISA and can't really fault them!
