Current Account switching question
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!

My bank won’t initiate a recall

Chase - contacting them via the app
Seems to have changed since I last used it. Used to have to go to support & then there'd be some obvious chat to us thing where you'd ask your question. I'm sure it's clear as day to you guys but they seem to have moved it with an app update & I can't find it. Where should I be looking? I'm hoping they've not removed it…

NatWest + RBS £175 switching offers June 2025
New switching offers from NatWest and RBS, see below. Terms seem to be more or less identical between the two banks, so I've listed the T&Cs for the NatWest offer for reference.

SCAM SMS from VIRGIN MONEY re:registration of new device? Do not call 02070361903 - it's not them!
Just wasted 10 minutes trying to do the right thing having received this slippery bank impersonation text coupled with an equally slippery bank impersonation automated telephone service on the 02070361903 suggested in the text if I didn't recognise an attempt to register a new device: I became suspicious because although…

For the TSB switch offer where you get £15 cashback each month as long as you make 20 debit card payments - if I used my card to tap on a TfL bus twice (return journey an hour later) I know TfL only take the one amount out, but would this be classed as 2 payments, given I tapped my card twice? The same goes for tube…
