Will I get Santander cashback in August?
Got the notification my 123 Lite account changes on 21st August. Looking to see when is best to get my direct debits moved out of Santander & have it shut down.

Switching bank account joint or sole ?
Hi everyone, I noticed the offer to switch by Lloyds today, and I am not sure if I'm elegible, as I switched a joint account with my partner 3 years ago, which in theory means I can't switch again as the requirement is no switching since 04/2020. But as that was a joint account and this would be open on my name only, does…

Switching from Natwest
I'm considering switching to a Club Lloyds account from Natwest. As part of my banking with Natwest I have a 'Digital Regular Saver' account which I get a good rate of interest on, even if I can only add £150 to it each month.

Hi, I was just wondering, if I switch current accounts do I have to phone all the companies I've got direct debits/standing orders with to let them know my new account details? That would be a bit of a pain in the neck!
