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

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
