Hello Froggy
Been dipping in and out of your diary with interest.

Just wondering. How easy was it to transfer to FD? I have been banking with Natwest for a lot longer than I care to reveal, and I have always been put off transferring, after a quick analysis of how much time it would take and how much stress could ensue. But I do have my beady eye on the £125, so would appreciate your view!

Also, I need to be able to visit a branch to pay stuff in - what banks can you use if you have an account with FD?

Many thanks
Curly

Morning Curly

The switch to FD was very easy.. I did it online through MoneySupermarket to get the £125 bonus.. Then a quick phone call the following day to setup telephone & online banking.. They have dealt with all the DD & standing orders.. I can't fault them so far..
In order to pay stuff in, you can use HSBC or they also provide envelopes to pay cheques in..

Cheers
Froggy :rotfl:

Morning Frogmeister,

£125 bonus for switching, ohh thats quite nice. I've been with Halifax since I was 4 when I first opened the account and i've never had any issues so dunno if i would move but that is quite tempting.

I moved from Halifax as I had a few problems with them and dont think they are quite the standard they used to be, moved to FD and they have been fab, I could write everything down I love but I did that on Caths thread and its looks a bit wierd!! but do it you wont regret it, plus they have fab mortgage/saving rates once your a customer too.

I'm moving to them to get their mortgage deal. Froggy, you can refer anyone that wants to join.

Quick Q though, i don't want salary paid in so can I just move money in and out?

Hi Froggy, I'm not with FD myself but the ladies on Tillys thread have nothing but fantastic things to say about them so good to hear you are having the same experience

Loving the masterplan update, well done you :j

Hi FroggyG, I have an idea I know where the £125 thank you fee will be going - masterplan anyone? Lovely to see it growing.

Good luck, Tilly
