RE Switching to First Direct from Joint
BEKO86
Posts: 4 Newbie
Hey, I have tried searching but not really found the answer I was looking for.
If I switch to First direct by myself I get £100 right, if my wife then switches to first direct herself does she also get £100?
The Direct Debits would be switching from the same joint account.
The plan would be then to setup a new joint account with First direct down the line.

They are likely to insist that the account you switch to must be a joint account from day one as well.0

How will they know?
What if I move a few Direct Debits prior ro switching to First Direct.0 -
Maybe if the only reason you are switching is for a mess of potage First Direct isn't the bank for you. I guess you are aware you have to pay at least £1000 into your account each month for free banking or have additional accounts.
Banking with first direct usually costs £10 a month, but we'll waive the fee if you pay in at least £1,000 to your 1st Account each month or maintain an average monthly 1st Account balance of £1,000 or hold a selected first direct additional product. For new customers we waive the fee for your first 6 months.That gum you like is coming back in style.0 -

Takes about 2 minutes to open a savings account and transfer £1 into it. Problem solved.0 -
Indeed, OP now has all the info they need.That gum you like is coming back in style.0

No I genuinely wanted to move over to First Direct.
This was just to clarify whether both individuals would receive £100.
I am well aware of the £1000 per month. That is not an issue.0
