High street banks are currently providing incentives of up to £400 for individuals who switch their accounts to them. However, specific eligibility requirements must be met to receive the cash bonus, such as meeting certain income criteria or being a new customer.
To switch your bank account and claim the bonus, you can utilize the free online Current Account Switch Service or visit a nearby branch. It is important to note that if you are planning to apply for a major credit, like a mortgage, it might be advisable to hold off on multiple account switches in a short timeframe to avoid impacting your credit file.
One such offer is from Santander, which is offering a £200 switch bonus for new customers who switch to certain accounts like the Everyday Current Account or Santander Edge accounts. Each of these accounts comes with different features, such as cashback on bills and access to savings accounts.
First Direct is offering a £175 switch bonus for individuals moving to their 1st Account, which includes benefits like a regular saver account and a 0% overdraft. Similarly, Nationwide is providing a £175 bonus for new customers switching to their FlexAccount, FlexDirect, or FlexPlus accounts, each offering different perks like interest rates and insurance benefits.
NatWest is offering a switch bonus of £150 for those switching to their Select or Reward accounts, with benefits like cashback and high-interest savings accounts. Co-op Bank is providing £175 to new customers switching to their Current Account or Everyday Extra account, which includes features like insurance and high-interest savings.
Barclays and HSBC are offering higher switch bonuses of £400 and up to £250 respectively for individuals switching to their Premier accounts, tailored for high-earning customers with exclusive benefits and perks. Additional requirements and restrictions may apply for each bank’s switch offer.
