Terms of switching to First Direct - does it have to be my salary paid in?

I just want to get the OP what they are after, that is all.

I had the same question. You have to send them the form so that they can contact your current bank to get details of all of the DD/SO you have set up with them.

FD will then send you the details in a list and you can just cross out all but the 2 you want to transfer.

Bit of a pain, but I was happy to do it especially when I saw the £100 appear in my account (eventually).

Hope that helps.

Thank you!!

whats the longest someone has waited to receive their £100 from FD?

Are both (or more) of the SO/DD's that you had transfered showing on your account yet? If so, and you've met the other criteria (e.g. funding acct), which sounds like you have from previous posts, I think you'd be within your rights to follow up with FD.
