One of Gibraltar’s Main Street financial stalwarts, the N&P (Norwich and Peterborough Building Society) recently launched a new current account offering some interesting benefits, including a direct ‘phone line into the branch for account customers – which can’t be a bad thing in our book. Other banks, please take note.

If you’re interested in opening an account, you can pop into the branch at 198-200 Main Street and talk to a member of staff. For those of you quick off the mark N&P are offering the chance to enter a competition to win a luxury wine-tasting trip in Andalucia. Just go to the branch and mention this article or call 200 45050 before August 14th and book a meeting with a staff member. The prize includes return travel in a classic car (so no worries about drinking and driving!), wine tasting and lunch in the beautiful Ronda Valley.

Below are some other benefits of the new N&P current account.

•    £500 interest and fee-free overdraft
•    £50 account switching guarantee
•    Account opening within 24 hours
•    Ability to open the account with just £1
•    Direct line to your branch
•    Free everyday banking – no monthly charges
•    Access to an exclusive savings account paying 5% gross/AER
•    Low overdraft rates

In addition, if you need to switch from your existing current account provider N&P will guarantee to complete the switch within 10 days or they’ll give you £50.
Samantha Hemingway, retail sales and service manager, says: “We believe that our current account is the best in town. It provides access to a top-paying savings account and it can be up and running within just 24 hours! We’re looking forward to sharing our best kept secret with everyone.”
