Advantages: Tax free savings, ISA.
Disadvantages: none that I can see

...I have been saving with the Principality building society for some years now, and I must say that thay have got alot of accounts on offer. There are alot of account but the most common accounts are: the straight forward savings account, the instant access savings account, ISA account, and the 60 days notice account.

Two days later I moved into my 1st home!!! I have had very little cause to contact them after but when I have I have always received a prompt reply. I know there are loads of offers out there and all I will advise is if the Principality... Read review
