Changing Banks?

If you are switching, best to do it for a reason.
First Direct offer very little after the initial switching bonus other than answering the phone quickly and a small interest free overdraft.
Santander or Halifax offer much better in terms of ongoing benefits for people crediting less than 1K per month.
For current accounts alone Halifax seems better but because I'm going to open a FD savings account as well @ 6%AER it works out better for me.
Thank you for all your replies.
I am going to switch to First Direct for a year and then evaluate after that.0 -
I've never tried the app only the regular site. It's functional enough I guess once you get used to it if you don't mind doing everything in a 800*600 pixel rectangle. It's also white on (a lot of) black and feels like how banking was in Ye Olden DaysI mainly use the app on my phone.
Is FD online banking not very good?
Barclays is one of the best and the FD one is easily the worst IMHO0 -
Why not go for all of them?0
