Tried to get an account with FD, but also declined, cheeky b/\stards... even tho i bank with HSBC and have no debt....


they kept nagging me i need to put my salary in with FD to have an account, i said many times no you don't just open an e-savings add £1.

Maybe they may have accepted you if you hadn't said that to them, although it's true, it won't help your case in getting an account with them by saying you won't be putting your salary in.

It is true, but I would just go along that your going to pay your salary in this time if you want an account with them.

It's well worth it with FD. I went from Smile to First Direct (both voted as the best 2 banks in terms of customer service regularly) and feel that FD are brilliant! Well worth the minimal upheaval in redirecting DD and what not
