Alliance & Leicester current account offering £100 for 2 weeks only

27 November 2009 / by Rachael Stiles

The Alliance & Leicester current account offer which pays new customers £100 when they switch online is back by popular demand, but only for a limited time.

Customers who switch to the Alliance & Leicester Premier Current Account online from November 30 until midnight on December 13, 2009 can get their hands on the £100 cash bonus.

Following demand from customers who missed the previous current account deadline, customers can once again benefit from the special offer from Alliance & Leicester, owned by Spanish banking giant Santander.

Helen Palmer, head of Santander's current accounts at its UK brands, said: "Our recent £100 cash back offer proved to be a hit with customers, and we have continued to receive requests from customers looking to switch to our great value Premier Current Account.

"This time-limited offer is good news for those looking to switch their current account, but people must act quickly, as this is available online for two weeks only. Not only will they receive a £100 cash bonus, they will also benefit from one of our great value accounts. This kind of great value is why we have been named ‘Current Account Provider of the Year' by Moneyfacts."

The Alliance & Leicester Premier Current Account also offers an interest-free overdraft with no usage fees for 12 months, 0.5 per cent AER interest on in-credit balances up to £2,500, and free annual European travel insurance.

Michelle Slade, personal finance expert at Moneyfacts, said: "It is important that people make sure they get a good return from their bank. This £100 offer, linked with this very good account does just that. The Consumer Money Awards were voted for by the public, and this offer is exactly why they are ‘Current Account Provider of the Year'."
