1st direct

vik1491

Hi. I'm interested in applying for the 1st direct bank account to get £100. On their site it says a monthly salary or income of £1500 has to be paid into the account. Doesthis mean I can pay in money from another one of my bank accoutns or do I have to instruct my employers to pay my salary into my new 1st direct account? If I can pay in 1500 myself can I transfer it all out immediately?

You can pay 1500 in from any account

You can transfer it out if you want. But if I were you I would use FD as they are head an shoulders above any other bank on this planet

just wait and sample the personal touch, worth much more than £100 in my eyes

I would have thought that anyone trying to rejoin after getting their 100 upset money would just be laughed at. They are a fussy bank to join so can be even more fussy when you !!!! their computers / staff off.

Do give it a go if you want then. But so many banks are difficult to deal with, FD being one of the best. Why would anyone want to.
