Leeds
Building Society
Premier
Current Account
This
current account from the Leeds Building Society
is a specialist savings
account in that it acts like a current
bank account. It comes
with a passbook
as standard but if you
have a good credit history, you may
also be offered
a cheque book and even
an overdraft facility. You
are also able to set up
standing orders
and direct debits just like with
a real bank account.
A
minimum initial investment of £100 is
required. A minimum balance of £100
must
also be maintained. The
maximum investment and balance on this
account
is £1M.
Joint accounts are allowed (maximum
investment £2M).
The
account can be opened and managed at
any branch or by post and can accept
regular
inward electronic payments such as a
salary as well as the usual cash and
cheques.
You can also make automated outward
payments.
If
you are looking for a similar alternative
that also offers direct debits and
standing
orders, a slightly better rate of interest
and you don't mind carrying
out
all your transactions by cheque then
see their Cheque
Account. You will
need
at least £2.5K to open this particular
account.
The
Leeds Building Society offers a large
selection of other savings accounts
ranging
from access types through to notice,
bond, tax-free, affinity, online
only,
children's and postal accounts.
The
Leeds was formed in 1875 and was previously
known as the Leeds
& Holbeck
(Permanent) Building Society.
It is a top 10 UK building
society and has mutual
status.
It
currently has over 70,000 mortgage accounts.
