High interest current account and savings deal about to end

Santander's UK current account brands, Abbey and Alliance & Leicester are urging consumers who want to make the most of their cash to take advantage of its ‘6% + 6%' current account and regular savings account deal before the promotion ends on 6 September 2009.

Abbey's Super Fixed Rate Monthly Saver is exclusively available to those switching their current account to either the new Reward Account or Preferred In Credit Rate current account. Alliance & Leicester's Premier Regular Saver is available to those who switch to its Premier Direct and Premier 50 current accounts.

Both the current and regular savings accounts boast an impressive 6.00 per cent AER/gross, which could provide a great return of up to £247.50 for those saving the maximum in the savings and current account every month.

Gillian Almond, Head of Current Accounts for Abbey and Alliance & Leicester said: "This cracking deal is about to come to an end, so now is a great time to grab this offer, and get a high interest current account and a high interest savings account.

"It is ironic that whilst many people are understandably watching the pennies at the moment, millions of Brits have not updated their bank account in the last decade.This is a great opportunity to ditch a poor value account, and move to one of the best current accounts on the market."
