Cheltenham and Gloucester Direct 30 works well

Advantages: good interest, easy to use
Disadvantages: none

I was looking to set up some kind of savings account and having been a Cheltenham & Gloucester customer for years, and been happy with their service I decided to opt for the C&G Direct 30. The C&G Direct 30 is one of the C&G's long distance accounts which you access by mail, this kind of account encourages you to save as you have to give the C&G 30 days notice in order to withdraw any money, which is great for people who find it hard to save.
