Transferred money on day Natwest account was closed.
So I transferred money on the day my Natwest account was closed. I didn't know about it closing, they sent the letter but I was staying somewhere else for the first half of the year. It was literally on the day the account was closed. Because the day before I accessed my account on my mobile app. After finally getting…

Student Bank Account Incentives Maximisation
Hi all!I've been looking at the student bank account incentives, and was wondering whether there could be a similar method of using them as with the switching bonuses I saw on TV - where people would have an account they'd use just for the cash incentives. If I close an account, will I lose the bonus like the tastecard or…

this error code 1176 to arise. If you have made a transaction on your on-line account…

Strange PBZ Credit SOLVED
This morning I had a Bank Transfer into my main account without any key identifier. The amount was £25.00 and had a string of numbers ending NS PBZ. I now know this is a Premium Bond prize. It's a complete mystery why they would hide their identity. It looks like a scam test of the account. Many hours wasted on the phone…

Euro account with debit card and IBAN
Hi everybody. I need to open a Euro account which has a debit card and will allow me to send and receive money in Euros with a European IBAN. Starling says "they are not accepting new applications."

Alternative to MoneyHub
MoneyHub is no longer available as they are advising us to move to WPS Advisory. ETA. That although I initially had an issue with the new app - that was due to the settings on my phone and not the app. I received some great online help and advice from Leah, one of their team. I would certainly recommend WPS now. First…

Santander banking app Magic Link
Both me and my husband have changed phones and can't get the Santander app to function because their magic link system doesn't appear to work. He's on Gmail & I use Hotmail and neither work. I've had to keep my old phone just to use the banking app. It's annoying if you are shopping online and need to verify something via…

It has been a painful process as you have to claim it through the DWP and…

NatWest + RBS £175 switching offers June 2025
New switching offers from NatWest and RBS, see below. Terms seem to be more or less identical between the two banks, so I've listed the T&Cs for the NatWest offer for reference. Biggest difference between past offers is that it seems to apply only to "new and existing customers who don’t hold a NatWest/RBS current account…

Best cashback/points from a debit card for big purchase?
Not very money saving I know, but have treated myself to a new car as a retirement present. Got Blue Light discount at least! Paid the deposit by my partner's cashback credit card, but I'm pretty certain that it won't be possible to use that for the balance (around £25K). Does anyone have any suggestions on any particular…

Lloyds now moving charities to fee-paying Charity Accounts
I'm the treasurer for a very small registered charity looking after a village's recreation site. I received a letter this week informing us that our Lloyds Treasurers' Account will change to a new fee-paying Charity Account in November 2025. This appears to follow on from Lloyd's decision to change the Treasurers' Accounts…
