Current Accounts
Current accounts are usually at the heart of managing our finances. We can have
our salaries paid into the account and manage and pay all our bills from there –
while also keeping our hard-earned money secure! Most accounts will give you a
debit card which allows you to withdraw cash and make contactless payments.
It is rather easy to open an account with a bank. You will have to agree to a
credit check, so that the bank can say that it has undertaken its money
laundering obligations; however, most applications can be done online these
days, with minimal provision of documents from you.
And don’t worry - your money is protected in the event of your bank going bust...
