UK Bank Account & UK Credit Cards

Hello! Does anyone have any recommendations regarding what bank to choose in the UK? Going to need spendings account, savings account and a debit card. I am also curious as to which is the best credit card to choose. Assume IB AN1 salary and no family fortunes.

Thanks, but I would probably prefer a bank that eventually can provide credit too, more full service

Yeah I got that but if you’re scandinavian you most likely won’t be able to have a line of credit right off the bat - it took me 6 months to apply to a so-so credit card. Amex has their Global programme if you already have an Amex in an eligible country.
