Abbey current accounts

Abbey serves 18 million UK and expatriate customers and traces its history back to 1849. The Abbey National Building Society was formed in 1944 and became a plc in July 1989. It re-launched its brand name as Abbey in September 2003, and is now part of Banco Santander, the world’s 9th largest bank.

What makes Abbey’s current accounts different?

With most of Abbey’s current accounts, you can personalise your debit card with a photograph of your choice – simply request it online. You can also use the Abbey ‘sweep’ facility – if you have a current account and a savings account, Abbey will move any spare cash from your current account into your savings once a month, on a day you choose.

How can I compare Abbey with other UK current account providers?

There are plenty of current accounts to choose from in the UK, and the interest rates and benefits offered can vary dramatically from one account to the next. If you choose the wrong one, you could be wasting a fortune in needless payments. Comparing every account in the UK is made easy by the uSwitch.com current accounts comparison service. It will ask you a few questions about which features would be useful to you, and use the information you give to provide a results table of the best accounts for you. Depending on your circumstances, you might find that an Abbey current account tops this list, or you might discover another deal that would suit you better.
