Why bother with the hassle?

Everything goes straight in to my current account... I like fritterring it away on a whim rather than going to the effort of transferring it from one account to another./QUOTE]

I think you answered that all by yourself!

current account is for paying bills

Squark · 27 Jun 2011 at 21:27

£-600

Can I answer in 2 and a half hours? Pay day!

It's not a great idea to keep a huge amount in current accounts anyway, so the question really doesn't say too much for a lot of people (those with excess of money and those who are on the overdraft line every month).

Anyone holding more in their current account than they need for the day in cash withdrawals, is peeing lost interest up the wall.

Anyone?

I don't think so.

My current account pays 5% AER on balances up to £2.5k. This beats most, if not all, instant access savings accounts and even beats most ISA's.

Therefore I am very certainly *not* peeing lost interest up the wall by maintaining a current account balance such that I can benefit from this interest rate.

By the end of my first year I was -£9,000 in multiple interest free overdrafts... lol

You have good control

Mr^B · 27 Jun 2011 at 22:14

-4000 or thereabouts, as I have just spent out on hotels/flights etc for a business trip, so will get it back on expenses next month.

Can be anything from -5000 to +10000 depending on what day you catch me on.

Hxc · 27 Jun 2011 at 22:17

£120~ The usual level.

Who is that account with? Do you pay anything for that?
