Yes - which says you need to credit your account with £1,000 within a month of your switch.

Well I intend to keep my account at least £1,000 in credit to comply with this in the strictest possible sense until the £150 is received. 2% interest is better than any non current account instant access by some way so its hardly an issue!

Its been a mighty struggle to get this far - the most complex account opening process I have ever encountered. So am taking no chances!

They don't say to keep 1k in the t&c. It says pay it in and nothing more.

I can tell you now, I have more than one switch going through, and just as soon as the £1K credit arrives it will be withdrawn again (less a sum retained to meet a couple of SOs I've put on the old account...just to show willing!), and I fully expect to get my incentive payments.

Does it not matter if I put two £500 from two different accounts to Clydedale account so the total would be £1000? I will then withdraw it next day or even on same day.

How are you getting more than one switch incentive?

One with Cldes and one with Yorks (though Yorks is hard work !)

I thought they were combined and the switching incentive counted for both?

(though Yorks is hard work !)

You're not wrong!

Plough back through this thread (if you dare) and you'll find some discussion on this point.

Just completed my switch today...on the 20th day since I signed the form so only one day to spare! I actually requested a switch completion date on December 12th but they must have moved it back to give them a bit more time.

Now just to transfer £1000 in and wait for my £150!

No it does not matter. £1000 total needed

I reserve judgement until somebody has actually been paid.

I did but YorkshireBoy edited his post and deleted the key details

Just tried the Clydesdale branch finder. Not many are there? I guess it's a phone job.
