Good Points

Offers large overdratft can apply online.


Bad Points

The overdraft you actually get is actually smaller than any other bank, unwillingness to help in branch or on phone, high charges.


General Comments

Be aware of the high overdraft offer. Whilst they did offer me UP TO £3000 I think it is very unlikely I will get that in year 1 or even in future years. Out of all the banks I spoke to they actually offered me the lowest. I have an average credit rating; I ' m 22 and have been employed for 6 years. They told me the only way you would get that high overdraft is if you already banked with them and had a proven track record.
