Natwest £150 switching offer - no mention of Direct Debits in the T&Cs?
I saw Natwest's £150 offer to switch and have a pretty much unused bank account that I could well use for this, just for the bonus. Looking at the T&Cs, there isn't any mention of a requirement to switch a minimum number of DDs or SOs, is that indeed the case or am I missing something obvious here? Thanks in advance!

Monzo Bank getting a kicking on 'Watchdog'
Blimey! They sound an absolute shambles! I'm glad I bank with a bank that still (just about) as a High Street presence. I do think that the hashtag #WhatsGoingOnzoMonzo from the daft presenter on 'Watchdog' is rather dismissive of something pretty serious.
