Current Accounts

Current Bank Accounts

A current bank account is a type of bank account offered by banks and building societies. People use Current Accounts for standard everyday transactions such as deposits and withdrawals of money and are often used to receive payment of salaries. Current Accounts offer a range of benefits to the user including cheque books, cash withdrawal cards, direct debit facilities, standing orders and interest paid on the money held within them. Interest and benefits offered by Current Accounts will vary greatly from institution to institution.

High Interest Current Accounts

A high interest current account is a current account for day to day banking requirements which pays a higher amount of interest to the account holder on funds deposited within it than standard current accounts.

Online Current Accounts

An online current account is now ubiquitous with every major bank offering internet banking. People can now access online current accounts 24 hours a day to handle all of their banking needs. They can open online current accounts, withdraw money, apply for loans, credit cards, mortgages and even work with a personal banker. Most major banks now provide online banking, and there are many financial institutions that operate solely as an online banking facility on the Web.
