Wiki: Current Account Switching Incentives šŸ’ø

Lloyds is ok, I find the notifications are at times delayed, and the app a little slow. Virgins app no better tbh but Lloyds do have spend notifications and direct debit notifications.

Revolut offering Ā£50 for every friend referred.

Itā€™s only one sided though, Ā£50 for the refer, the new customers needs to spend Ā£5 on a card and make 3* transactions of Ā£5 each.

So even if you split it they gain Ā£5, or Ā£20 if theyā€™re buying stuff they would be anyway.

Would be great if it was Ā£50 each.

What happens with payments that go to closed accounts that are Daisy chained along?

Moneybox is set up with my old co-op account. Iā€™m not sure where I moved that to and if I moved it along again or not, probably did.

I know money will move to the new account but will it move to the new new?

Yes itā€™ll move through every chain in a CASS sequence.

Or you could just change the account in Moneybox?

It doesnā€™t seem to be that easy. Lemme take one for the team and find out.

I think I switched to Lloyds and Halifax in the summer of 2020 - have I now waited my time!?

Iā€™m finally set up with everything ā€¦ never got my PIN or l activation code for online banking but a quick call with them and they got me set up.

My switch should be complete today, now they just need to pay up :grimacing:

Not a switching incentive, especially for the switcher.

Iā€™ve always just covered the other persons Ā£5 and lost out a bit - itā€™s a volume game. I ended up Ā£300 up.

Thanks to this thread Iā€™ve just collected by Ā£200 from NatWest and now in the process of switching to Lloyds. Easiest Ā£200 Iā€™ve ever made.

3 Likes

@Will1 If youā€™ve got Ā£200 from NatWest youā€™ll be able to get another Ā£200 from RBS and another Ā£200 from Ulster

Ā£200 NatWest
Ā£200 RBS
Ā£200 Ulster
Ā£200 HSBC
Ā£150 Lloyds

Almost 1k up for grabs atm

RBS is the same as NatWest application. Easy peasy.

Ulster is a case of you apply online using a form that looks like its from 2006, pick any branch as your nearest from a postcode like in Belfast, get sent in the post the information you entered to sign and send back in the supplied freepost envelope.

Forgot the ID part you donā€™t need to supply it in the envelope or show in branch. (Worryingly you can effectively open an account in anyoneā€™s name if you know where they live. :neutral_face:)

Youā€™ll then get post to say congrats with card and then that your switch will be completing on x date. This ignores any date you gave in the application form, just the quickest date possible.
