    virtually everyone is offering incentives to switch and match overdraft limits.

    May depend on overall credit status. there's been a significant tightening down of risk in the mortgage sector for the past 16 months. Focus will progressively switch to other areas.

    Based on both of your comments above gizmo and thrugelmir, do you think I would be better off opening a basic bank account elsewhere? I would prefer to have a debit card (no overdraft though obviously) but do you think I am unlikely to be approved?

    Try the ones offering incentives atthe moment - halifax usually have something going an if you get refused then try the basic account.
    Mama read so much about the dangers of drinking alcohol and eating chocolate that she immediately gave up reading.
