Co-Op bank - £200 if you switch to them

Tubbss

On Monday 17/10, co-op start a limited offer - switch your banking to them using their switching service, pay in minimum of £800 per month then after the 3rd month they will credit your account with £200!
You must switch at least 2 direct debits, and this offer doesnt include the cashminder account.

Great. Any more details (overdraft facility etc) or is it all online?

I wonder if they'll accept SOs, as pretty much all my bills are paid by SO (same amount every month)

Hi, Does anyone know if this offer will be available in branch only or it can be applied over the internet. MS

Hi, not sure about the standing orders, overdraft facilities are as per current account range and you can apply in branch from Monday - not sure about online applications.

Would this also work in a Brittania branch? The nearest co op bank is 11 miles away but all co op bank business can also be done in a Brittania branch.

Bogger. Closed a current account on Thursday, could have switched it.

Is the Co-op switching service any good? Do I get to select which DDs I switch?

Since any "dedicated" account switching service is just a wrapper around those provided by BACS (the company), I would not be afraid to guess that all of them should work just the same.

But that's not enough on here - co-op's printable switching form includes a section:

"Would you like to receive a copy of the list of payments provided by your previous bank before we transfer the payments?
(please be aware that choosing this service will lengthen the account switching process)"

Will have to look at the T&Cs of this to see if I can get this cash somehow. Have a Halifax account with no d/ds on ready to be 'switched'.

If your into gambling that can be arranged very quickly and easily. Sites like NationalLottery and HealthLottery both allow you to play via DD. Once the DD is setup you can switch it to take advantage of the deal, and then when you've got your £200, cancel the DDs

(I doubt it would work for Monday, but it should work for later on in the week)

Also, should only cost you a couple of quid! (Check the T&Cs of the lottery websites first) Bonus if you already play the lottery.

Is this for any of their current accounts?

Thanks
