## Resource

Martin on switching your bank account and which banks are willing to pay you money to do so. He also explains package bank accounts where you pay a monthly fee and can get things like travel insurance, mobile cover and breakdown cover included. Right now you can get nearly a year of that for free too. He explains changes to energy standing charges.... and the new broadband and mobile telecom charter, which was signed yesterday. Martin gives his view on whether it's any good and whether it will it stop price hikes. The Tell Us is all about work-life balance and there are lots of tips for you about home insurance in this week's Mastermind. If you want to ask Martin a question, you now can! His Question Time podcast lets you ask Martin absolutely anything and everything (within reason!) – so if you’ve always wanted to know what colour his eyes are, what he's planning to do in his eventual retirement, or have a very complicated question about your personal finances, email it to MartinLewisPodcast@bbc.co.uk.
