Post Office Launch Three New Bank Accounts
The Post Office have revealed details of three new current accounts now on offer, in a move hoped to challenge high street banks.
Initially being launched in 29 branches across East Anglia, the new accounts include a fee-free standard current account, which will include a debit card, alongside a "packaged" account offering extra benefits for £8 a month and an account aimed at helping people avoid bank charges called Control, which includes a £5 a month fee.
The latest development in the Post Office’s partnership with the Bank of Ireland (UK), the Post Office boasts over 11,500 branches – more than all the UK banks combined.
The accounts will be rolled out to all branches in 2014.
