I went to Alliance & Leicester to open a bank account recently. I was amazed at how quiet the bank is on a Saturday morning compared to other high streets bank. There is practically no queue at all. And to my amazement, with 3 staff over the counters serving only 1 customer, I was asked to be seated for 5 minutes before being served. The staff kept apologising to me for being busy which I don't think the staff is. Though service is okay, nothing to be praised but the interest rates of the easy saver account seem to be slightly better than other banks. And there is no notice period for withdrawal. However, there is no passbook for the account and you can't apply for internet banking with this account without a current account.
