Totally useless money grabbing b**stards :-)

Nationwide are much better... if you can get a german bank account...
I used to bank with barclays untill they overcharged my business accounts by 3k (supposed to be free banking for the first year) had to get the banking ombudsman onto em to get my money back... as for my current account I didnt have an agreed overdraft and had a direct debit for 5 quid go out.... it would have made my accout 2 quid overdrawn, they bounced the payment, charged me 25 quid and then 10 quid for sending me the letter!... nice eh??
Similar scenario with nationwide, they phoned me up and asked me if i would like an averdraft to cover it!... hmmm... Barclays also like to lend 18 yearolds lots of money the bank knows they cant afford to pay back ,then when they get into trouble offer them consolidation loans and bomb them with ridiculous interest rates. i work in the armed services and see it all the time with some of the younger members lads... abey national are just as bad (same group of companies)
best bank in my experience for business;
HSBC or Deutche Bank
Personal banking:
Nationwide building society - Really good interest rates too and the members own it not a blue chip.
investment for stocks shares etc:
Lloyds TSB
