Current accounts are the UK’s most common form of bank account. Our wages go into them, our payments go out. But how much thought have you given to your account? Do you have the bank account most suitable for your needs? It’s tempting to simply turn a blind eye and let the workhorse of our day-to-day finances get on with things.

Our team of independent experts at Moneyfacts.co.uk have searched the market to help you find and compare the best bank account products available including:

• basic bank accounts, (the simplest form of bank account, aimed at those who have no or little credit history or have had a bad credit rating. 
• packaged accounts with added benefits, (such as travel insurance, car breakdown cover or mobile phone cover), 
• overdraft accounts (bank accounts with an overdraft facility should you need it).
  

Switching your bank account is a simple process:

• Your new bank account provider will usually be able to transfer all your Direct Debits and Standing Orders for you.
• The only thing you need to do is to let your employer know your new bank details(or any party that pays into your account, like your pension provider).
• It’s also wise to keep your old bank account open for a couple of months following the change over, just in case something goes wrong and to ensure your payments go in and out as you expect them to.

It’s got to be worth it if you can save or earn some extra money, hasn’t it?
