Nationwide Switch Experience
I recently switched two accounts from TSB to Nationwide and, unfortunately, did not qualify for any of the switch payments. The reason given was that I failed to meet the timeframe by a couple of days. I completed the documentation online and believed I had fulfilled the criteria, but obviously, I had not. Despite being a…

Random thought the other day - I've never had more than £2300 in my bank account
I had a fairly random thought the other day that I've never had more than £2,300 in my bank account ever. Some people would spend that on a foreign holiday without a second thought! I've worked all my life and am now in my early sixties. I'm now self-employed and earning now quite a bit less than when I was last working…

RBS Natwest Joint reward account.
Does anybody know how you open a joint one of these when you already have a sole one. I want to open a joint one of each with my wife to max out rewards but because I already have a sole one it steers me to other account options only.

Mettle business bank account being closed
I have a business account with Mettle (an app-based "bank" run by NatWest). It's an e-money account but they are transitioning all holders to a full bank account which involves a change of sort code and account number (which is a pain). However they have told me they are closing my account at the end of the year and will…

Any Starling Bank insiders?
I’ve been a Starling Bank customer for a few years. I love the app which I think is the best in the business and I’ve found the customer service good. However this month they have stopped paying interest on my savings spaces. I have applied for their 4% Easy Saver but been rejected. Like a lot of other customers I’ve been…

Bank fraud (over) protection?
I recently attempted to make a large transfer of money (£20k+) from my account (with Chase UK) to a close family friend whose account is also with Chase UK. As expected, this was flagged by their security systems as 'unusual' and I was told to phone them to verify, which I was happy to do. I passed all of the security…

Why won't my bank let me turn my current account into a joint account?
I'd like to make my current account a joint account with my husband so that after my death the account will continue to operate and continue to pay important direct debits. The bank says that I will have to open a new joint account and that they cannot transfer the direct debits in the same way they would if I was…

RBS Mobile App Card Reveal feature
Just loaded the mobile app cos I was told on the phone (by RBS) that it would enable me to find details of my (lost) debit card. The blurb says I need to choose "Card Reveal Feature". I cannot find my way to this and all googling has drawn a blank. I need the card to make an urgent online transaction and can't find it. I…

On Saturday afternoon my son got a call from what he thought was RBS. The fraudsters convinced him to transfer £600 and £400 from his RBS current account to his Revolut account i.e. all the money he had. From his Revolut account, £750 was sent to Coinbase and £300 to Transak, which I think are both connected with…
