Sainsbury’s current account review

Sainsbury’s used to offer a current account known as an Everyday Account, however these are no longer available and have not been replaced. This means Sainsbury’s does not offer current accounts at the moment.

Sainsbury’s does offer credit cards and a range of savings accounts, which may be of interest, but if you are specifically looking for a current account, you will need to compare what is on offer from other providers.

Switching a Sainsbury’s current account

If you are looking to change your current account to a new provider, you should familiarise yourself with the Current Account Switch Service. This offers a free, fast and simple way to switch your current account to a new provider.

When you want to move your account, you simply inform your new bank or building society that you wish to use the Current Account Switch Service to transfer your old account to them. Your new provider will then do the rest, using the service to transfer your balance and all payments in and out of your old account to your new account.

This makes switching your account quick and convenient and means you don’t risk missing a payment to you or from you to someone else. The Current Account Switch Service is supported by over 40 UK banks and building societies and covers 99% of all UK current accounts.

Compare Sainsbury’s current accounts to other market leaders

If you want to find a new current account to get a better interest rate or improved benefits compared to your existing account, it makes sense to compare the broadest range of accounts possible.

Our current account comparison table at the top of the page makes it fast and easy to look at leading current accounts from all the top providers. That way you can make an informed choice and get the best deal for you.
