If you are shopping for a personal loan in the UK then your first concern should be that the loan must be of cheap interest rate and you avail most of the benefits that come along with a suitable loan. In the UK availing cheap personal loan is easy but you should be well versed in its different aspects.
First of all you should note that Cheap Personal Loans in the UK generally are given by online lenders as their rate of interest is lower than banks and financial companies. So, better look for an online lender while searching for the right loan deal. Secondly in providing personal loans at cheap rate of interest the lender would like you to offer any valued asset like home as collateral. Secured personal loans come at cheap rate. What is more if your credit history is good then the lender may reduce interest rate for you. You can borrow greater amount as per value of collateral as secured cheap personal loan. And you can repay the loan in 5 to 30 years.
In case you want unsecured personal loans without collateral, it will come cheap only when your credit history is excellent or good. Generally, unsecured loans come at higher interest rate, but your good record of repaying past loans and good repaying ability can ensure a reduced rate on the loans.
Are you having bad credit history? If you are in a good position of repaying loans in time, a personal loan with competitive rate of interest is possible to avail if you shop well for the suitable loan deal. Take rate quotes of online lenders providing personal loans in the UK and you can locate a suitable deal for bad credit people. Make sure to repay the loan installments in time so that your credit score improves.

Sure. Banks can charge whatever interest they want. Similarly, they can pay whatever interest they want.
And, actually, mortgage rates aren't directly tied to the prime anyway.
Having said that, a mortgage rate of 6.1% in today's market is actually quite good. You're highly unlikely to find one below 5%. Unless it's some sort of teaser rate or some sort of ARM (adjustable rate mortgage). But that was one of the contributing factors to the sub-prime meltdown. So they're more difficult to find today. And if your finances are so thin that you need one below 5%, then maybe you should rethink your purchasing plans, or at least the amount you can pay for a property.
Go see a good mortgage broker. He/she will tell you what you can qualify for, and what the rates for your situation are.

Check out Washington Mutual. Everything should be free for all the basic items.
Lots of banks don't charge for the basic services.

The way banks make money is by getting money (either from other banks BoE, depositors, or other sources) and then loaning or investing that money at a higher rate then they are paying to get it. The difference between the rate they pay to use the money (ie. the rate they pay people who deposit money in savings/checking accounts in their bank) and the rate they make on it (ie. the rate of the mortgage/car loan they make, the interest they make on investments) is called the spread.
When the rate that they are able to borrow money from other sources (in this case, the BoE), the less they are willing to pay you in the form of a savings account to borrow your money. Therefore, when LIBOR (or other target rate) decreases, so does the interest rate that the bank will offer for a savings account.

It would make sense if you are paying a higher rate than 6%.
You can do that if you like. Discover card and Chase cards are offering 3.99% on balance transfers up to 4 years but not sure if its only by invitation. You just have to read the fine print and see what is suituable for you.

I am European, and we can change money for a fee at any bank in my home country.
The first time I arrived here to the USA, I tried to change money at several banks. They either don't do it, take several does or like they told me, I had to be a member of their bank.
Duh, how the heck am I supposed to be a member if I am just a tourist????
Anyways, I would advice you to bring a credit card or cash (credit better, so you don't walk around with wads of money in your pocket).
Do not expect to change foreign currency here in the USA that easy…
Maybe it was that I went to Virginia, and now I live in Mississippi (where they don't have banks where you can change currency that easily).

Credit Unions are the best and most reasonable rates. You have obviously been good with your payments, so your score should be good. They offer the best rates and will treat you like a friend and not a number or a loan profit.
