Weatherbys Bank?

Hello,

I have recently seen this bank and was considering switching my bill paying account to it, I'm currently with RBS (Drummonds although RBS branded debit card, not Drummonds :() and I'm with HSBC and Lloyds for certain bills, I'd like to ditch my Lloyds account as while they have been great, I feel a change is needed since my local branch is now TSB (:mad:).

So yes, has anyone heard of Weatherbys and are they any good, I'd be looking at opening the 'Racing' current account as I don't have £3 million lying around :rotfl:

    So what your saying is that you're are closing your Lloyds bank as you don't have a local branch, but you do have a local Weatherbys, so are considering opening one of those?

    I actually don't mind the whole no branch thing nearby, just TSB is ugh so was interested in a different bank, would like to stay away from Barclays (which is the alternative option) at the moment if I can mind.

    What is "ugh" about TSB? right now, they are essentially 100% Lloyds, who you said were great. Is it the blue that you don't like?

    I'd say you would need to be involved in Horse racing, or own a racing Horse to be eligible for one of their racing accounts. Especially since you just want it to be a bill's account, I don't think they would be interested in your custom.

    Although is your RBS card online or offline ? If it's online you may get a Drummond branded one when you upgrade to an offline card, like I'd did with my Child & Co account. But if it's offline already, I guess Drummond don't do branded cards etc.

    I do own a horse although don't do horse racing yet ;)

    No idea, my card starts with 4751 17, it's a standard RBS debit card although I was thinking of changing my branch to Child & Co and requesting a new card if my card is already offline ;)

    That's an offline card so it would appear Drummonds don't do branded cards or cheque books. Strange that Child & Co do yet Drummonds don't. Wonder if you would have to open a new account to change sort code.

    If that's the case, I'll wait until my contract is up for the monthly payments then open a new account at Child & Co, only 6 months to wait :p They do do cheque books though, I have one :)

    Thank you :)
