Banks and building societies offer a variety of different accounts. Nearly everyone needs an account to help them manage their day-to-day money. It is possible to manage your money using just cash, but putting your money in a bank account can have several advantages.

Although the terms of accounts differ from bank to bank, there are only two main sorts of bank accounts; the first, a current account, is an account suitable for managing your day to day finances - it may offer a cheque book or a cash-point card. The second is a savings account, which as the name suggests is best for longer term savings.

Most banks or building societies now offer useful web based banking facilities which can provide a much easier way for you to organise and manage your finances.

Many online banks provide a wide varierty of services that allow you to manage your money, pay bills, set up direct debits and transfer funds into other accounts.
