So I have 2 bank accounts but I’ve had recent issues with Direct Debits (Pre.930 ticket in particular) because of a Nationwide banking error and its just not sustainable having to manage both accounts as a person on disability benefits.
So is the CASS option still completely functional even after 2 years or will I face issues? I’m planning to go full Monzo again.
Nationwide also have a silly system of needing to use a card reader to verify Payees too which is annoying.
I don’t mind putting my money into Monzo it’s just I don’t like having every penny in the account, in case something were to happen.
What’s happened is I updated my Direct debit for Transport for West Midlands ticketing and it aint appeared in Nationwide banking, other direct debits appeared just fine. This was over 2 weeks ago now. Plus Nationwide just has a weird system.
It really depends on the users credit score. I’ve seen threads on other platforms of users complaining they were declined for an account as they hadn’t been in the UK for too long.
Plus it varies on your credit file if you’re a bad lender for example.
I’m gonna let my current possibly failed ticketing direct debit go through on Monday (it hasn’t shown up yet). If it goes through brilliant, I can start the process of the CASS.
If not, I’ll just do everything manually. There aren’t many direct debits attached to Nationwide plus Monzo have bonuses for having over a certain amount paid in each month and have you set altrast one direct debit, so e.g more free card replacements.
