What are the best personal bank accounts at the moment?
I've just started to work for myself and I'm not making huge amounts of money, but I want a separate bank account for incomings and outgoings. I get cheques from America, so ideally I need a bank who isn't gonna milk me with big fees for cashing US cheques. Any recommendations?
