What's the deal?

The Alliance & Leicester Premier Direct Current Account pays 5% AER on in-credit balances up to £2,000 for a year and offers a 0% EAR, fee free overdraft facility for 12 months too.

What makes it great?

Alliance & Leicester's Premier Direct Current Account offers you the best of both worlds. 

You get a market leading interest rate of 5% AER on balances up to £2,000 for the first 12 months - making it more competitive than many of the 'best buy' savings accounts around at the moment - coupled with the flexibility of a 0% EAR overdraft of up to £2,000 for 12 months too.

Their Premier Switching Service make it easy to move your money by transferring all of your direct debits, standing orders and salary payments to your new account for you, for free, and you can access your account online, over the phone and via mobile banking 24/7.

What's the catch?

The 5% AER rate is only payable on balances up to £2,000, any amount greater than this will attract interest at a rate of 0.1% AER.  Additionally, after the first year the rate of interest payable on in-credit balances will drop to 1% AER.

Similarly, after 12 months a fee of 50p per day (up to a maximum of £5 a month) will be charged for use of any authorised overdraft so this is something that you will need to take into consideration when deciding if this is the right account for you.
