What features do TSB current accounts have?

While the exact features you’ll have access to depend on the type of account you open, TSB generally offer the following:

Planned overdraft. TSB’s current accounts generally offer some level of interest free overdrafts, but the amount and interest rates you get depend on the type of account you open.

Overdraft buffer. An overdraft buffer means you won’t be charged interest for going into your unplanned overdraft, up to a certain amount.

Grace period. This is the period of time you have to pay money into your account to get out of your unplanned overdraft without paying a fee.

Save the Pennies. When you use your TSB Visa debit card, the amount you spend is rounded up to the nearest pound and the difference is transferred from your current account into a TSB savings account.

Rewards. With a silver or platinum account you’ll have access to:

• Mobile phone insurance

• Travel insurance

• Breakdown cover

• Sentinel card protection

Why you should compare current accounts

For most people current accounts are where you manage your day-to-day finances, so it’s important to pick an account that works well for you. Comparing current accounts on MoneySuperMarket is a good way to shop around between different providers, so you can see exactly what each one offers – whether it’s their overdraft facility, interest rates paid on a positive balance, or the extra benefits they provide, you can search to find one that suits your requirements.

Thanks to the Current Account Switch Service, once you’ve picked your account the process will take a maximum of seven working days to be completed. All your incoming and outgoing payments are automatically transferred to your new account, and your new provider should take care of everything – from redirecting any accidental transactions from your old account to paying any penalty charges.
