How many First Direct customers are planning on moving to a bank that aren't going to fleece them?

I have had an account with FD for years. \n\nI work for another major Bank and I have to have my salary paid into an account held where I work. \n\nI hate the fact that my employers can see all my financial transactions so I choose a FD account as a second account to retain some privacy over my finances. \n\nI work Part Time and do not earn anywhere near £1500 month. I am going to contact FD and if they try and sell me a lending based product eg loan, credit card i will tell them thay they are being irresponsible by encouraging someone on a low income to get into debt. \n\nI am fully insured so do not need insurance products and there House & Car insurance were not competitive for me. \n\nI will take a savings product if that is acceptable but can onlt afford to invest £5.00 monthly at this time. \n\nIf they do not like my rules then I'm off. I have a good credit rating and will not be bullied into paying them for my business. \n\nMaybe I will intorduce my own charging system. Everytime they send me a piece of unwanted junk mail I will charge a £5.00 letter opening fee and a £5.00 rubbish disposal fee. \n\nI will now climb off my high horse and go and have a coffee.  lol

Not uncommon. Not fair.\n\nIf you work for a bank, they have to be open.

I don't see why they wouldn't. If they truly value your service and don't want you to go elsewhere they will. Most of the companies I have dealt with are more than happy to adapt as long as they know they're not getting the shaft. =)

I have never heard of emigrantdirect, but I have used ING Direct for about 6 years now and have never had a problem with them.  They have a promo right now where the rate is 4.75% until 4/15/2006, after that it goes back to the regular rate of 3.8%.  They have no minimums, no fees, and always transfer money quickly and without a hassle.

Not sure if its possible, but would suggest you talk to them (your bank) about it and also check out some other banks which may provide a faster service.

Live in one for a few years.  I wouldn't go do a "door to door" survey though....

Great question, it is so hard to do that, good all Bank of America, (I'm so sick of them) don't do the math right, I'm telling you. Regardless of whether they admit it or not guess who looses? the customer, they are never wrong and there is no one to protect you, unless you can hire an attorney. \nGood luck.

You will have to find a job first, as no lender will finance you without having a job where you will be living, unless you are transferring to another location with the same company.

Perhaps the bank can help you with your question.

HSBC is currently offering 4.25% APY with no minimum deposit.  ING Direct and Emigrant Direct are both offering around 4% with no minimum deposit.  Check rates frequently at www.bankrate.com

I would try Chase.  They are everywhere!  And, I believe they just took over Bank One.  (At least all the Bank Ones here in Columbus just changed to Chase.)  The Chase website shows two branches in Wooster and 28 branches in Rochester.

Barclays Bank, perhaps? Unless you were looking for a SPECIFIC employee.  You might try writing to the head office to see if they could at least tell you at which branch the person is.  They may or may not, but that might be the quickest start.

They don't want to employ a deadbeat. They don't want your creditors calling and they don't want to have to garnish your salary. Also, people who need money to pay their bills might be tempted to steal.
