The government is working with the banks on plans to give customers
their account data in a simple, standardised format that can be used in
comparison sites. This will make it much easier for you to do quick and
easy comparisons of current accounts, including the fees, charges and
benefits, and make informed decisions on whether there are better
accounts for you to switch to.
