Britons ignoring bank statements

Gloved hand taking cash from safe, BBC Nearly one in five current account holders never open their bank statements to check their accuracy, a Royal Bank of Scotland survey suggests.

A further 23% of people said they only checked their statements occasionally.

But at the other end of the scale, one in six people said they kept track of how much money they have in their current account on a daily basis.

Royal Bank of Scotland surveyed nearly 2,500 adults for the survey.
