Yorkshire bank has been trying to combine the benefits of a big bank – physical presence and wide range of products – with those of a challenger bank that offers cool mobile banking features.
Its selection of current accounts isn’t huge, but it does suit some specific needs that not all banks have got covered. Let’s see if there is anything that can work for you.
Yorkshire Bank doesn’t offer any kind of children’s or student accounts, but its range of current accounts for adults has got some interesting options.
Yorkshire Bank’s top current account, called B, pays a nice little 0.5% interest on balances up to £2,000. However, Yorkshire Bank doesn’t offer any switching incentives, so if that’s what you’re after, you may want to take a look at the competition.

Yorkshire Bank has two types of premium accounts, and they both offer a whole lot of services in return for a monthly fee. Its Signature Current Account is available to everyone and includes a series of insurance features, while its Private Current Account is only for top-tier customers.

Yorkshire Bank has dedicated offers for people who have money issues and struggle to get a regular bank account. You can choose between a fee-free basic account called Readycash, and Current Account Control, an account that blocks unarranged overdrafts in return for a monthly fee.
Learn more about basic accounts
To open an account with Yorkshire Bank, you’ll have to provide the following information:
You can open a B Current Account online – all other current accounts can be opened on the phone or by visiting a branch.
Your current account is probably your most commonly used account. You might as well find one that works well for you! Even if that just means making the most of switch incentives, then so be it.
Shopping around can be a good way to see the different accounts and offers out there. It’s also helpful to see the features which matter most to you. From interest rates and overdrafts to exclusive benefits or perks.
If you’d rather have a digital-only bank whose main purpose is making the mobile app as slick and efficient as possible, you may want to consider Starling, Revolut or Monzo. They’re completely changing the British banking scene – head to our digital banking section to find out what’s so special about them.
