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

all accounts apart from the cashminder.
If you try and switch an account that has no active direct debits on, it would be flagged and the bonus would not be paid0 -
I'm not 100% sure how this "account switching" works. Do you have to close the account that was "switched" or just swap over the DDs using the automated service?0

Well, Britannia and Co-op are the same bank, so I would expect them to do the same offers0 -

my post was a specific answer to a question asked by happymj in post no.6. in answer to your own question you do not need to close your original account, but you will need to arrange payment of at least £800 (wages etc) into the new account as well as set up the 2 dd. after 3 months you claim the £200. the account also comes with a £200 automatic fee-free overdraft. on the back of the leaflet it says in a Q&A form "can i access my co-operative savings in a britannia branch? - not at this current time but we are planning to enable you to do this in the future". so not quite the same bank yet.:xmastree::TDebt Free by Xmas '12 #100 5701/5701 100%:T :xmastree:

Sorry, I was going from the website where is says "Britannia is part of the co-op bank" and "The Co-operative Bank p.l.c. trading as Britannia".0

Still separate systems except most Co-op/smile current account servicing can now be done in Britannia branches since last month.Ethical moneysaver0 -
