Switching to First Direct

To qualify for the
New First Direct* 1st Account customers get a £100 bonus, by transferring a salary of at least £1,500 a month within the first three months. It pays no in-credit interest, but in most feedback on customer service First Direct rates very highly.
However does the £1500 have to come from one employer or is it just £1500 income per month ? Thanks for the help in advance.

It does not have to be all at once, as long as £1500 is credited every month. Oh and don't forget previous customers don't get the bonus!

A very quick search would have revealed over a dozen threads answering your question.

The £1500 doesn't have to be a salary at all and it doesn't have to be £1500 in one transaction. As long as you deposit £1500 total PM by any means and switch at least 2 DD's/SO's you'll get your money.
