MSE News: First Direct opens current account to lower incomes
Comments
-
To qualify for the £100 do you need to transfer 2 Direct Debits?
The thing is, currently I only have 1.
Also would I need to transfer my salary from my current bank to First Direct? As what I would like to do is keep my Halifax current account (get £5 a month!!) Then transfer the necessary £1k from Halifax into FD to qualify for the £100.
I mainly want to open a FD account for the 6% Regular Saver..
Any help is appreciated
All the details, in 100% correct form, are on the FD website.
In summary, to get the £100:** Open a 1st Account then transfer your banking using our Easyswitch service (transferring at least two Direct Debits and/or standing orders) and salary/income of at least £1,500 per month to your 1st Account within three months of your account opening and we will add £100 to your account. This offer is only available for people who haven't previously held any account with first direct and is limited to one payment per joint relationship.
They have yet to update their site for the £1,000 but as the MSE article says, this will only become effective from April 1. Personally, I would not rely on information from a 3rd party and would always go by the T&Cs of the company I contract with.0
