Customer reviews, account features and more.
AA (originally The Automobile Association) is a British motoring association founded in 1905. The company offers higher interest rates exclusively for AA Members.
Is it easy to switch to AA?
The AA aim to make switching your savings account to them as easy as possible. That’s why the online application is quick and easy, and allows you to set up an account with a minimum of £100.
Every AA ISA account also comes with a holding account, so you can consolidate your existing savings before moving them to your savings product.
How do I decide which account is for me?
You need to work out what it is you need from your bank account. Are you looking to put a bit of money away each month? Do you want to put some money away and restrict access to it? Are you after rewards or hoping to maximise interest?
You need to work out what you need before comparing the different offers available for certain types of bank account. Once you’ve done that, useful guidelines to compare include:
- Interest rates
- Fees (if there are any)
- Access to cash (if you need quick access for instance)
- Rewards and loyalty schemes (if you’re into the add-ons or switching bonuses)
Does AA offer online or mobile banking?
Yes. AA offers online banking.
Here are some of the basic features of AA’s online banking service:
- View rates and current balances at anytime
- Make transactions at your convenience
