I&#...Yvonne, do they have credit unions in the UK? I'm very ignorant about your banking system, obviously. I use a credit union (customer owned, so better interest on savings, lower rates on loans) instead of a bank, and really love using it. Very straight-forward internet options; it is mostly online, with only one brick & mortar building to serve the entire national clientele. And the people there are incredibly nice and the telephone service is superb. Most credit unions are worlds better than the for-profit banks. The trick is that not just anyone can be a member; one must have some sort of connection to get an account - generally they are aligned with the type of work one does. Not an option in the UK?Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04255878008385322653noreply@blogger.com
