I found it on the Play Store. I don't know how long it's been live as I've not received notification from them about it. Seems like they are catching up with other providers at long last.

Says you need a £100k income, but then also mentions you need to pay £15k within 90 days of switching. Unsure whether just paying the £15k (non salary) would satisfy the switching bonus criteria? Premier Reward Account | NatWest Premier

I am thinking of transferring a second bank account to Nationwide, but have only just set up the direct debits in the second bank account. They are all showing as being active, but no payments have been taken as yet - due on 1st Nov. Will I be ok to apply now but put the switch date as 10th Nov, for example, by which point…

So if a bank goes bust FCSC protections gives you £120k back, but then the question is how likely a bank is to go bust..

I manage my 86 year old father's account with Nationwide. I have an LPA registered with them.

I want to put my money to work, better. But I don't have a mobile phone. So far I've tried my bank that I have been with for ever. But they insist I do everything on the app. Went in to the bank , thinking doing it face to face would work. "NO, go away and use the app! But hang on I've just told you I don't have a mobile…

Hi All I've opened an Edge account to get the 6% (inc bonus) savings account. Looking at the Edge T&Cs I can't see why I need to pay the fee if I don't pay in £500 and setup 2 DDs, no cash back I know, but for me that's marginal. Good idea? Or will they close the account? Any thoughts?

Hi all. If you lose your debit card, can someone use it to put you in debt by £1000s? I recently had an unarranged overdraft by a few pounds but it got me thinking; can a thief literally spend, say £5000 and the bank will let it go through? Or even a few £100s? Shocking if true. Thanks.

says in the Ts and Cs that this will be paid up to 14 days after you initiate your switch to them, just wondering if anyone received their money faster than this? im 8 days into my switch and 95% im eligible for the switch offer but not received anything thus far, cheers
