    Alliance & Leicester Current Account have nice friendly people on the phone, when I have managed to get through. £100 reward money paid promptly with no hassle, which I was expecting! Fast service opening account - with all documents, cards etc. coming through the post very quickly.

    Having warned Alliance & Leicester that I could have problems with an incoming transfer to cover my credit card bill, (from an Icelandic bank when they were having problems), the resulting farce cost me over £200. (My transfer, in fact, only arrived 2 hours late).
    Their systems seem to be ...

    There's usually a table-topping deposit account but it changes each year or two from Premier to Premier Direct to eSaver to whatever it will be next year. They didn't let me transfer from one to another until I had a socking great amount of money in the account by fluke one month; usually the comput ...

    I would sooner stash my cash under my bed than let Alliance and Leicester anywhere near it (maybe a wise policy in these bank run times anyway).For one, they seem to have endless penalties and fees.It is clear their policy is to manipulate timings to keep you in a state of perpetual extortionate deb ...

    All the league tables recommend the Premier Direct account at Alliance & Leicester. This is very misleading, the charges are excessive and the customer service is appalling. I recently transferred my mortgage from one provider to another and had a little hiccup during the process, I requested an inc ...

    It seems to take days for anything to come off my account when using your visa debit card - my Halifax account it comes off instantly so you know your balance.
    There customer services is poor - although I did get a call from someone quite senior after a serious complaint.
    Bad customer services - hug ...

    I would never touch any Alliance and Leicester product again. My son paid £100 in bank charges for a 50 pence overdraft, when he lost his job.

    Hi, I have complained about Alliance & Leicester's new daily overdraft fee but cannot complain about their attitude to fraud. On Monday I had several amounts of cash taken from my account by a fraudster.

    I spoke to A&L today and not only did they flag the transactions as dubious they have also r ...
