Switch current accounts and claim £100
Monday, 7 September 2009 Writes Hazel Cottrell hazel.cottrell@consumerchoices.co.ukSwitch your current account to Abbey or Alliance & Leicester to get £100 cash and a 12-month interest-free overdraft.
Abbey (www.alliance-leicester.co.ukwww.abbey.com) and Alliance & Leicester (www.alliance-leicester.co.uk) are offering new customers £100 to switch to their current accounts.
| These current accounts were already two of the most attractive free overdraft accounts. |
Specifically, you must switch to the Abbey Preferred Overdraft Rate account or the Alliance & Leicester Premier Current Account.
Both of these accounts offer an interest-free overdraft for 12 months and 0.5% interest on credit balances. The Alliance & Leicester account also comes with free annual European travel insurance.
Chris Eagle, commercial manager at CreditChoices.co.uk, said: “These current accounts were already two of the most attractive free overdraft accounts. The £100 incentive simply sweetens the deal.”
He added: “This is the third time this year that Alliance & Leicester has offered this deal, but each time it has only been available for a limited period. So, if you want to make the most of it, act fast!”
You will receive your £100 cash within 11 weeks if you transfer direct debits and standing orders using the account transfer service and meet the minimum funding requirements each month (£500 for Alliance & Leicester or £1,000 for Abbey).
