thinkbanking

thinkbanking aims to provide a friendly, reliable and personal service that helps you to manage your budget. Although thinkbanking is not a bank, it offers an accredited basic bank account and is a genuine alternative to high street banks.

In business for 10 years now, thinkbanking has attracted over 77,000 customers and is part of the Think Money Group of companies, which employs 900 members of staff.

The Group was originally founded to offer help and advice to people with money worries. In an extension of these original goals, thinkbanking was founded to offer customers a bank account that helps customers set and keep to their budgets - something increasingly important in these debt-laden times. Such is its level of service that the thinkbanking account has been awarded three stars by The Fairbanking Foundation.

Open an account with thinkbanking and its team of Money Managers will work with you to ensure that there is money set aside in your account for all the regular bills you've told them about. Its system even forecasts your future balance, so it can warn you if it looks like you are going to have a shortfall. thinkbanking is upfront about its charges from the word go, and with the thinkbanking account there are no hidden charges. This includes no charges for late payments, bounced payments or overdraft charges.

thinkbanking charges £14.50 a month for a single account (with a one-off set-up fee of £25) or £19.50 for a joint account (with a one-off set-up fee of £30). It's as simple as that and can offer customers great peace of mind when it comes to managing their finances.
