Consumers not rewarded for staying out of debt

MoneyExpert claim that financially stable consumers who stay out of debt aren't being rewarded with appropriate interest rates from their current account providers.

The group say that too many current accounts offer less than 1% interest on accounts that have a positive balance, which they label 'an appalling return'.

Sean Gardner from MoneyExpert says that some current accounts offer as much as 3.57% interest and offer attractive bonus introductory offers.
