I had a Halifax savings account when i was 8. It was quite cool.

Otherwise, they offer the highest interest along side Bank of Scotland don't they?

I'm going with Nationwide's internet account because that offers 3.75% interest - besides which I already told my LEA to pay my loan into that account. Then I'm getting an internet savings account with ING Direct who offer 4.3% interest which is linked to my Nationwide account by direct debit - so I'm going to put all my money in the ING Direct account and transfer my weekly budget into the Nationwide account and spend through it. Those were the two accounts I found with the highest interest - hope I explained it okay.

i've had a websaver with them for about 2 years and i saved probably about £2500.
i recently opened a current account with them and they gave me a £1000 overdraft and a £750 Visa card and a cheque book and Switch cheque guarantee card.
im not sure about their student account though, im going back to education after taking a year out so i dont know if i will open a student account or just keep my current account. HSBC are meant to be good for student accounts.
