"Robbing the poor to feed the rich"
The ‘banking crisis’ is set to strike a new low in confidence at the end of 2011. And there is no Eurozone to blame here; it is a situation entirely of UK banks’ own making.
This week has been a decidedly poor one for banks, and has highlighted several problems endemic within the financial system.
As of September 5th, you can now earn up to £300 cash back by switching your current account to Santander.
In a recent move, Santander have tripled the amount of cash back available to customers taking out their ‘Preferred Current Account‘, making the gap between it and it’s competitors even greater.
With very few accounts offering a money back scheme, this sets Santander apart from the rest of the market and gives potential customers a very big incentive to reel them in.
However, this fantastic offer is not available to everybody as there are certain limitations to applying for this cash back amount. With Santander’s preferred current account there are 3 levels of cash back that are available. (more…)
