best online bank?

[TheCrow]

The One Account has very good online stuff. Although its not a std current account.

I use HSBC for my online/offline personal account.

For fully fledged online only usage you can't beat the offshore HiSAVE account by the ICICI Bank. See here. They have one of the best inerest rates for instant access savings accounts going, no silly speical offers just a damn good interest rate. Plus you get the added kudos of saying you have an offshore account .

5.15% AER!

first direct.

halifax is a joke online i find.

 

[Burbleflop]

First direct - Absolutely flawless service. The customer service is second to none, I really couldn't be any happier with my bank

Well said

 

[Kerplunk]

No problems with Halifax over here. Good stuff, Like it.

HSBC here - can't fault it. Apart from the IB number is too long for me to remember (probably a good thing)

They use to have a live chat feature where you get advice/help with a person from customer services online. Can't find that anymore though

you get used to it actually...

i know all the numbers for my credit cards and dbit cards, including all the start end dates, issue numbers and security codes.

i used to know all of my friends and families phone numbers but not a chance since getting a mobile.


oh, and HSBC for relative ease of use

Nationwide, one of the best online banking websites I've seen

www.nationwide.co.uk

Another Halifax online user here, no problem with the navigation.

I also use HSBC, both easily straight forward to use

First direct - Absolutely flawless service. The customer service is second to none, I really couldn't be any happier with my bank

the only problem is sometimes they ask me to enter consecutive digits for the online password.. i mean come on!

 

[A.N.Other]

I use Halifax and think their online service is great - useful having branches as well though.

Some friends of mine use IF (Intelligent Finance) and say its good - but no highstreet branches is a big no-no for me tbh.

Another vote for First Direct.

Best customer service EVAH! Not just banking, but any industry I've ever encountered. Brilliant. Oh and their online service, especially 'Internet Banking Plus' which rounds up all your finances so you can see what is going in and out financially in your life...

And £50 for joining them!

the Plus service is great, bank building society account, mortgage, credit cards etc.. all at a glance - and acces to them as well if you need to do anything with just one click

Also added bonus of being able to use HSBC for over the counter

Another vote for HSBC - easy to use, great service, excellent 10/10 or as ebayers would say A+++++++++++++++

NATWEST

although its the only one ive used, had no probs

 

[Bracco]

The One Account has very good online stuff. Although its not a std current account.

Surely the online One Account stuff would be exactly the same as RBS or Natwest?

Barclays iBank

Only one I've used, but it does seem to do the job nicely.

 

[Roland0]

HSBC

 

[benneh]

Only used Ibank Barclays and TSB. ibank wins by a clear mile, though doesnt feel as secure (in that the TSB security checking etc is tediously extensive).
I use ibank more often though, never had any problems.

HSBC here...
