Halifax to Lloyds and 8% regular saver
I've just switched my Halifax credit card to the Lloyds app and thought I'd look at what savings accounts might be available and there seemed to be a regular saver account for up to £250 per month paying 8% for the first 12 months. I've applied and hopefully the offer will hold true.

HSBC Premier account
Hi I bank with HSBC and have received an offer to transfer to their Premier Account. I don't actually qualify for it, either income or savings, so wondered if others have had this? Is it worth it? I understand it's free but don't know about the benefits. What would happen if they realised I don't qualify? Thanks

As it's now moving from the Halifax to Lloyd's I'm thinking about closing it so we will be eligible for the next switching bonus with Lloyd's, but where to? Are there any banks which will pay a switching bonus on a joint account if you…

Nationwide FlexPlus vs Co-op Everyday Extra benefits
We have a joint NW Flex Plus account (£18/m). Breakdown cover and travel insurance are most important to us, mobile/gadget cover a bit less. If we switch to joint Co-op Everyday Extra (£12/m) what do we lose ? From what I can gather from a very quick check on MSE, the benefits are pretty similar. The devil must be in the…
