Title: Where should I open a bank account? Post by: flammableBen on Monday, February 26, 2007, 11:21:53 I've got a big fat fuck off cheque to pay in but nowhere to pay it in to. Any recommendation's? Also how much ID do you need. I've got a slightly buggered passport and a solicitors letter for proof of address do I need anything else?

I'm not sure what the ideologies of Rasta Jews are so you might be better off going for the one with the highest interest rates. Title: Where should I open a bank account?

Think thats only when you 'swap' current accounts....but worth checking out! £100 for nothing is always a nice little bonus! Title: Where should I open a bank account?

Title: Where should I open a bank account? Post by: flammableBen on Monday, February 26, 2007, 14:28:13 I'm nervous, I don't like official meetingy like things. I'm sure I can charm them with my chilled out relaxed attitude though.

Title: Where should I open a bank account? Post by: flammableBen on Monday, February 26, 2007, 15:29:24 Sorted. The Lady at Halifax was very nice and surprised as I was when I passed the credit rating computer check for a normal bank account with debit card and cheque book. Happy days.
Aceness, if you ignore my student load I'm actually in credit for the first time in nearly 5 years. Title: Where should I open a bank account? Post by: Fred Elliot on Monday, February 26, 2007, 15:31:52 Well Done Benjamin

Title: Where should I open a bank account? Post by: flammableBen on Monday, February 26, 2007, 16:03:57 It's inheritance money from my step-grandfather who died back in November time so I should probably save most of it. I'll have some fun with a bit of it though. Happy Nintendo Wii days.
Also it says in the Solicitors letter that it's an "interim payment", does that mean I'm likely to get more? Title: Where should I open a bank account? Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, February 26, 2007, 16:12:26 Yes Ben, it would mean that there is another payment to come. Although quite when I don't know. You should ask the solicitor though.
Title: Where should I open a bank account? Post by: flammableBen on Monday, February 26, 2007, 16:16:27 Thanks my financial advisor friend. I think I'll leave it as a surprise instead of asking the solicitor.
