Spotlight: Abbey Reward Bank Account
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Abbey has launched a new packaged current account. Costing £10 a month, the Reward Bank Account is available to new and existing Abbey customers.
It pays an in-credit interest rate of 6 per cent, fixed for 12 months, for balances up to £2,500 as long as £1,000 is credited to the account each month. Balances over this will earn 0.1 per cent. Customers also get a £100 interest-free overdraft. The account also includes a range of benefits, which Abbey claims to be worth more than £400 per year, such as motoring assistance, worldwide travel insurance, discounts on dining out and hotel accommodation, and £50,000 worth of legal cover for identity protection.
However, whether the £10 monthly fee is value for money depends on which of the benefits you'll use, as there are other great current account deals available with no fee.
Abbey's Preferred In-Credit Account, for example, also pays a rate of 6 per cent on balances up to £2,500 as does Alliance & Leicester's Premier Direct Account.
