Matt Di Angelo

Wed 2nd April 2008

Matt Di Angelo is just 21 years old but already has hit soap EastEnders under his belt along with a successful stint on Strictly Come Dancing which propelled him into housewives' fantasies.

But is ladies' man Matt just as smooth when it comes to his money?

He's not bad, but there are still a few ways Matt could save himself a cool £1,200 a year. For one, he's paying his current provider, Barclays, £17.50 a month to have an account.

If he switched to Alliance & Leicester, he could cut out the fee completely and earn 8.5% interest on credit balances up to £2,500. In total, he could net himself £300 a year by switching accounts.

He could also earn another £500 a year if he took out a cashback credit card as he spends around £30,000 a year. His savings are also not earning him as much as they good.

He has £25,000 in an ING account but he could gain an additional £400 a year by moving them to the top-paying savings account with Kaupthing Edge, which pays 6.5%.
