Abbey kick starts 2007 with top offers

Abbey is encouraging people to get more out of their money this year by offering a selection of January deals.

The offers are available across a range of Abbey products and can be applied for through a branch, online or over the telephone.

Sue Hayes at Abbey, said: “Customers typically review their finances in the New Year, and in response to this, we have launched some highly competitive offers to help people kick start their finances in 2007.”

The offers available include:

Current Accounts

Customers switching their current account to Abbey can enjoy a market-leading six per cent AER on balances up to £1,000 for 12 months – that’s 60 times more than that offered by other high street banks. Abbey will also do everything required to help a customer move smoothly to an Abbey account.

Loans

As a reward to our loyal customers, Abbey is offering existing customers 6.9 per cent APR (typical), on loans from £7,500 and above. Successful in-branch applications will have the money in their current account within 24 hours.

Savings

Abbey is offering a rate of seven per cent AER on its Fixed Rate Monthly Saver account. Unlike other providers, you don’t have to take out an Abbey current account to get this great rate. After a year, the account will automatically become a Flexible Saver account, offering up to 3.65 per cent gross per annum AER (variable).

Credit Cards

Customers can switch their credit and store card balances to an Abbey credit card and get zero per cent per annum for 12 months as well as no interest on purchases for the first three months.
