My daughter and I came across a very agressive and rude cashier who had a problem counting my daughter's change and said not to bring it in again. Banks building societies should apprieciate whatever money they get not bite peoples heads off. They ought to state any policies or rules when an account is opened, this experience has put my daughter off from going into the branch.

Can anyone help i am setting up the accounts for 2 nephews, fulfilling my late fathers dying wishes to leave his wife a certain sum in joint account and divide rest between his two grandsons. His grandsons parents are not fantastically reliable and they have agreed i can administer a child's account for each of them, which i am allowed to do i have checked it out, it's fine and legal. But my problem is the parents will not put regular sums into a savings account. Therefore i need a flexible account with irregular sums paid in but still get a reasonable interest rate anybody know of such an account currently enquiring about two children’s bank or savings accounts, thought it would be straightforward, but it’s a nightmare, so far barclays seems to be best option.

Many are just too simple. Any ideas of the best account that comes with a current, savings account and a credit card?
