First Direct - £100 switching bonus top up

I have opened a first direct account but my monthly salary is £1485. I have been transferring £20 a month from my old current account. Does this count as salary "top up"? Will I be eligible for the £100?

    You just have to pay in £1,500 during a month. It doesn't have to be all in one go, and it doesn't have to be salary.
  • So I should be fine. Salary has paid in £1485 and I have paid in £20. Does it not matter that the £20 is from an account with Halifax in my name

    Nope, they don't care.
