What do people think of the Abbey for current accounts? Good points? Problems?
Your help will be appreciated.

depends what you are looking for.....
the abbey offers a switcher service, so that all your direct debits, standing orders etc, will be moved out, and your other account closed...without you having to do any of it... the abbey will also match any facilities you have on your bank of scotland account (i.e overdraft, multifunction card)... you can set up to view your account online...
there are different types of interest you can get, if you have a grand or more going into your account each month you can get a higher rae of interest on the balance of the account...or you can get the prefered overdraft rate and thus a lowish rate of interest on the overdraft....
also the abbey's charges are apparently competitive...
and of course you get wonderful staff
:pp
as for whether they are a good bank....they seem to be pretty good, a lot better than some of the banks i've been with (as a customer i mean)
