Two of Alliance & Leicester's current accounts have taken the top spots at a personal finance magazine's awards ceremony.
Its Premier Direct current account was named the Best Current Account 2006 by Moneywise, while its Premier current account took second place.
The current accounts were judged on the strength of their customer service and the competitiveness of their credit and debit interest rates.
"Alliance & Leicester's fee free Premier Direct account has consistently offered a market-leading credit interest rate, and highly competitive overdraft rates since its launch," said Jeremy King, publisher of Moneywise magazine.
"Taking this into consideration, alongside the first class customer service offered by Alliance & Leicester, Premier Direct emerged as the clear and deserved winner of Best Current Account 2006."
Helen Palmer, current account manager at Alliance & Leicester, added that the company was delighted at having been commended by Moneywise.
She said: "It's a double delight that Premier Direct has been recognised by Moneywise magazine as the UK's best current account for the second year running – and the icing on the cake is second place for our Premier account."
