I bank with smile, the internet bank.  Have done for the past 6 or 7 years.  They really are a super bank, great interest rates, friendly and eager to please, their online interface is easy to use, very secure, and whats more, they are as ethical as a bank comes.  Just incase I had forgotten how much I liked them, they sent me a bag of sunflower seeds last week, to grow my own bouquet.  I’m smiling!  There’s even a contest to see which customer can grow the biggest sunflower.  What a cool bank!

And, if anyone reading this is interested in joining smile emoticon, they are offering you 12 bottles of wine to you and to me (for up to 3 people signing up for a current account as a result of my praises of them).

Here’s the technical stuff:

To make sure you get your wine, you’ll need to enter your special offer code when you apply: BCHAEIBHDAFG

Visit http://friends.smile.co.uk now to apply – it’s easy peasy.

And just in case you were wondering what else you might be missing out on with your current bank:

  • 3.04% AER (3.00% gross) on every penny when you’re in credit
  • £500 12 month fee-free overdraft, to help out when you need it
  • a dedicated team to make switching simple and hassle-free
  • 24/7 control over your account
  • the only on-line bank with an ethical policy.

You don’t have to take our word for it either, since a massive 95% of our customers would recommend us to their friends! *
