Card which guarantees cheque and is also used in a cash machine card.

You  will  also  receive  a  paying     in  book,  monthly  statements  and  an

automatic  overdraft  facility    with  no  arrangement charges    up  to 250

pounds. You can of course request a higher amount at a reasonable rate.»

Account  and  you  can arrange  to have  all your  regular  bills paid

automatically.

addition your Firstdirect Card can be used to withdraw up to 100 pounds a

day from over 6000 cash machines. You can use the card in cash machines

at Midland,  Net  West, TSB,  Clydesdale and  Northern Bank   the  largest

bank network in the country.»

«You can also use it wherever you see the SWITCH sign, to save time

in writing cheques, and it is accepted in many  shops and  supermarkets.

The amount is debited from your account.»

«Because  it gives you the freedom  to make  better use of your time.

With a Firstdirect Cheque Account you no longer need to spend your

time queueing at your bank   for example at lunchtime   because that is

the  only  time  you  can  manage  to  see  them  during  the  hours  they  are

open.»

you do not need to make appointment with your bank manager and take

time off work.

cheque whenever you need to? Why should you not be able to pay a bill

cannot have this service from any High Street bank. Firstdirect is unique

interest rate. The higher the balance on your account the higher the rate

of  your  interest  you  can  earn. Since  the  interest  you  earn  is  calculated

daily, your money is  earning interest  even when  you are in credit  for a

short period. Interest is added to your account every month. The enclosed

Interest Rate and Tariff Card  lists allow current  rate.»
