Here's one not to miss out on.
First
Direct will give you £50 to open an account with them. First Direct has to be the most recommended UK bank out there, with an exceptionally high customer satisfaction rate - services like 24 hour phone banking (no "press the hash key" stuff), excellent online banking, and free text message mini-statements make this the bank to be with. The £50 account opening freebie is will worth having too, of course. More on our
