Which Bank?

I find barclays to be good, I've been with them 12 year and never had any problems

I think the Association should have is a current account

I've been with F1rst D1rect (part of HS8C) for over a decade: they often win "best bank" awards. I've no complaints at all, the a/c is extremely easy to run from my pc, and you can have telephone or in-branch access too.

You can see all the a/c info on the screen in front of you, setting up, editing and cancelling standing orders or DDs is so simple. Really, I highly recommend them.

I've also been really impressed that they spotted an fraudulent transaction out of my account from one of those horrible pay day load people. They spotted it and stopped it then phoned me and I'd not even noticed. All I had to do was sign a form to confirm it was nothing to do with me and it was all sorted. Have since seen loads of cases on the net where the banks have been totally unhelpful in situations like this and the individual has had to claim the money back themselves.

If you need two signatures for a cheque, surely individual debit cards defeat the purpose?

I know bizarre but true....it works for us though

Just an update. Called at LLoyds yesterday. Hadn't a clue what they were doing and gave me a number to ring. Person on the end of the phone was most unhelpful insisting the two previous two signators had to contact her before they would even send any information out regarding the 'Societies and clubs' account.
I pointed out that I wasn't wanting to utilise the savings account at this time and I could go to any other bank and set up a current account............which I probably will!

I have no idea who the previous signators were and not having the bank book with me couldn't even ask the bank

All I wanted was an information pack with forms to fill in for a current account!
