Bank account advice. Recommendations?

[Nicknacky]

Hi everyone. I have a sum of money coming to me next month and was thinking of opening a new current account and a savings account

I went into the Halifax to ask for advice in the best way to invest/save and they told me just to look at their online banking 😂. Not helpful.

So does anyone have any suggestions? I want the a separate current account as I’m buying a house and doing work on it and want to separate those costs from my everyday spending. Thanks in advance.

Chase. Cash back on the spending from your current account and a good rate on your savings account. All online and v easy.

Chase is a nice and easy account to set up. You'll get 1% cashback on debit card spends and 4% interest on a savings account. It's a great all rounder IMO. The app is super simple and you can open lots of savings and current accounts for different things.

You can get better rates in other savings accounts. Metro for example are offering 5.22% in an easy access saver. They also have an easy app and current account.

I have accounts in most banks and these are the ones I'd recommend.

Brilliant thanks. I had just looked at Chase and thought it looked like what I needed. Good to have recommendations for it

I've just opened a chase current account and savings (recommended by Martin Lewis not the best rates but the combination is good). I use it for everyday spending and savings. It was the easiest bank account I've ever opened and my new card was here within 5 working days.
