Nearly 70% of us have a current account with one of the big four traditional banks; NatWest, Lloyds TSB, Barclays and HSBC.
However, in most cases, they don't provide the best rates. The good news though, is that there are a variety of choices available from local banks to building societies and Internet providers. They all have their pros and cons depending on your circumstances so it's best to search around.
Here's are some of the things you should be looking out for:
The fee applicable to the account and what you get for your money
A breakdown of charges
How the account operates – can you pay bills online, is it a 24/7 phone service
