Bank Quote by David Craig

“So the lesson is – ‘only bank with your bank’. Only let your high-street bank run your current account. If you do any other business with the likes of HSBC, Barclays, RBS, Lloyds, Natwest then the chances are that you are paying for over-priced, poorly-performing products.” quote by David Craig
