Switching bank
Hello I am always tempted to switch banks for an incentive but often hold back as I'm not sure if I fail their criteria for getting bonus. Can I check my previous banking history, ie what banks I've been with in the past to then know if I qualify for bonus. Thanks

Nationwide Flex Plus price increase?
Now that it’s £18 I’m considering moving to Virgin. Has anyone done the analysis of how the insurances compare between the two?

Getting added to my parents current account
My mum is terminally and want me to take over my dad's banking when she dies. Dad has never been involved in the banking side of the household and does not have a mobile or computer. Would a 3rd person (me) on their joint account solve mums worries? She just wants things in order before she passes.

Switched over 3 years ago, what happens to attempted payments in?
I understand that any payments in will be redirected for the first 3 years following a switch. What happens after that window expires? Would money just eventually bounce back or disappear into the ether? What if you'd switched again, also over 3 years ago? I have a paper trail, will the banks? I'm waiting to hear back from…

Decided to take up Google's compensation offer for their recent update and consequent battery failure for the Pixel 4A phone. You must create a Payoneer account.

Natwest ridiculous accusation of fraud
I recently transferred money to a friend's account. I sent too much and had second thoughts and asked her to transfer it all back to me and I'd give her the money in cash.
