I'd like to switch to Barclays who are offering £600 in one of their switches but I can't get the app on a tablet (and don't have a smartphone, believe it or not). MSE does not mention this; did anyone else notice it? Are Barclays aware of it? Also, for anyone who has done this switch: MSE says on the one hand that this is…

I had an account that I closed earlier this year, they won’t let me open another - will I ever be a “new customer “ again, does anyone know, and have any idea how long it takes? Thanks

Does anyone know if Chase Bank give cashback on Home Heating Oil purchases for example Boilerjuice ?. I cant seem to find a list of MCC codes that Chase will pay out upon for fuel / energy. Thank you all.

This looks a great offer, I've looked at the T&C's and have a couple of questions on points aren't 100% clear, wondering if anyone can confirm one way or the other (with some evidence preferably, because I don't think any of the information I can find does confirm either of these) Qualifying for a NatWest Premier account…

The first time this happened, after over a day of not working, I phoned them up and the helpline said breezily "oh, just…

Hi all I wasn’t too sure wether to put this in techie forum or this forum. However, given that my question is connected to budgeting and accounting I have put it here. I hope that’s ok. Our family runs a business that they purchased many years ago. When they purchased the business the accounts/book keeping software at the…

We would like to open a bank account for our 13 year old son but would like both parents to be able to oversee and manage it. Can anyone tell us a bank that allows this please as our bank Lloyds only allows one parent to do this. Thanks

However, at the same time there has been a £24 charge to her bank account that doesn't show in the PayPal transactions log. PayPal support were at a loss to explain it. The…

Seems like a new reward scheme incoming?

I do my banking online, using an iPad. I bought a new iPad and discovered that this created difficulty in accessing my accounts. One bank made the process straightforward. The other locked me out completely and sent me into a loop every time I tried to regain access. Since I have biometrics set up on this account you would…

I still have two Halifax Rewards accounts, hoping that they would once again offer something worth having but since the announcement that Halifax brand was going to disappear I realised this was not going to happen. Trying to downgrade them on the Halifax website was proving impossible, always resulting in an error. So I…

What is the most efficient and risk free way of transferring wages paid into a Bahrain bank account back to the UK. I bank with HSBC but they have sold their private Bahrain banking services to BBK now and I don't appear to be able to use their/my global account

I would like to switch again to take advantage of the one of the good switching offers available now. Would the fact that I have a personal…

Anyone having issues with the Club Lloyds fee waver? I pay in £2000 every month and usually have the fee taken and waived at the same time. Today they have taken the fee, but the waiver reinstating it isn't there.

Previously if I used the option View Statements , the statement would be automatically downloaded to my phone. I tried this a few times today, but though I could see the statement on the phone, there was no file downloaded. I looked in all the phones top level folders. Has there been a change in the app? I couldn't see any…

If I've opened accounts but missed the switch offers should I just close the account and wait a few years to the next offer? How can I tell when my previous accounts were opened/received offers/closed - and which is the date that matters for future eligibilty.
