Help! Bank Account Switch Hacks for Keeping Saved Payment Details
Hi there, I’m about to do a bank account switch to cash in on an offer. I’ve only done it once before, way back in 2017.

First Direct Identity Checks
One big drawback of switching to First Direct is that unlike most other banks they seem unable to complete electronic identity checks instead requiring copies of certified paper documents.

NatWest reward account - how quickly can I take the 1250 payment out?
Can any NatWest rewards regulars in here answer a question? You have to pay in 1250 a month to qualify for rewards, but does it have to stay in for 24 hours like it does when doing their switch bonus, or can it go out again same day?

A previous thread on this subject was closed about 10 years ago after Santander announced a U-turn in response to the outcry caused by their proposed charges for business bank accounts inherited from Abbey, who had promised free business banking forever. I have had a letter suggesting they are trying again, this time by…

I’ve experienced trouble with both the Lloyds and Halifax apps this morning. Halifax lets me in momentarily, so I see the balances, but Lloyds doesn’t get that far.
