The high street banks are always competing to attract new customers and they constantly introduce new variations on recognised themes.

At the heart of all bank accounts there are two main rates, the interest rates that you will be charged to borrow money, even if that's as part of an overdraft, and the interest rate that you will be paid if you have savings.

Assessing what you need from a bank account is the first step to choosing the right one. If borrowing money is a priority to you rather than a high rate of return on savings or if access via the internet is more important than a local branch then these are factors you should consider.
