The best current account for you?

Compare Barclays current accounts

Finding the best current account for you is all about deciding what type of account might be right for your individual needs.

Key facts

  • If your financial affairs are reasonably straightforward, you might decide that the best current account for you would be a basic personal account with no monthly fee. The best current accounts will also come with a debit card and cheque book (subject to status).
  • If you like to do your banking in the evenings or at weekends, you may decide that the best current accounts are those that offer branch, telephone and Internet access, so you can access your money whenever you want.
  • If you have a busy lifestyle, the best bank accounts might be those that offer more flexibility. This is likely to involve a monthly fee in exchange for a tailored package of services, such as insurance and advice lines.
  • Many people look for 'free banking'. This usually means that there is no fee involved as long as you retain a certain balance or do not go overdrawn.
