What does a fee-free basic bank account cost in the United Kingdom?
MoneyHelper says a basic bank account in the United Kingdom is free to set up and use. It works for wages, benefits, a debit card, transfers, Direct Debits, and standing orders. It does not offer a cheque book or an overdraft, so you cannot spend more than you have.
