Many bank accounts offer little in the way of real benefits, but there are those that offer cashback on things like your weekly food shop, energy bills and council tax. Shop around to ensure your current account gives you these rewards, which at the moment could be worth hundreds of pounds a year.
There are some current accounts that will offer you a welcome bonus for switching your bank account, some offers over the past year have been as high as £200. Be aware that you will likely need to meet their criteria, but this could give a welcome boost during difficult times.
