Banks that offer incentives to join. Cash etc?

Unsurprisingly I am looking to change banks. Moving from Ulster Bank like many others I would imagine. Looking for the a current account with a debit card, suitable for direct debits and that offers online banking. I thought Halifax's incentives of £100 cash credit when joining and £5 every month when you deposit over £1000 was pretty good.
Does anyone know of any others? Im not too bothered about phone and travel insurance as have these on my ulster bank joint account which I can't change because it's the account linked to mortgage rate. Was also in BOI but they don;t seem to offer anything else other than some type of insurance and discounted loan rates, oh and a dedicated help/enquiry number??

    duh!! :rotfl:

    If you're inclined to use an overdraft, you'll need to check out charges/interest rates for that as it will make a lotta difference to the choices you have available.
