How can YOU benefit from
having a Current Account?

You'll find it much easier to keep an accurate record of
your current expenses when you have a Current

. Account.

When you pay all bills by cheque on your Current
Account, you receive back, at the end of each month, all

your cancelled cheques as

well as a bank statement

Showing every withdrawal and every deposit you have

‘made. Furthermore, they are much' easier to file away

than receipts and take less room to store. With them
‘and your bank statements, you'll find it far easier to

get an exact picture of how you spend your money.

So it’s a good move to use a Current Account for paying -

all current bills—and keep your Savings Account for
