Standard Chartered’s XtraSaver Account is an interest bearing current account. They offer generous CashBack on the amount spent on this current account.
It comes with a MasterCard debit card which is also an ATM card that enables you to make NETS and MasterCard payments as well as withdrawing cash from its ATM machines.
The debit card is linked to its own chequing account which also gives 0.05% p.a. interest, this is good as not much chequing accounts offer interest.
If you need a high-interest savings account, consider SCB eSaver.
