Can I Switch?

I found it very easy as I have only spent about half an hour on it. You just need a great deal of patience as it takes a long time from application to getting paid. A bit like M&S and the Coop.

That's not my experience.

I spent more time than that on the phone chasing up paperwork during the (almost) 4 weeks it took just to get the account open

I'm happy to wait for the incentive though as 2% isn't too shabby for a feeder account.

Just to clarify is this open to Northern Ireland residents

Are you asking about FD or YB/CB? Whilst you wait for replies from other NI residents (if any) who have gone for these deals, why not call them and find out? Both even have freephone numbers. Don't forget to post back and let the forum know.

and if so is the only switching criteria to transfer £1000 into this account or does it have to be paid via a salary?

Any salary stipulation (and other requirements) will be detailed in the respective T&Cs.

Finally how long does the £1000 have to remain in the account for?

It doesn't...for any of the current crop of switching offers.

How about http://personal.firsttrustbank.co.uk/ £125 switch incentive for Northern Ireland residents. Thread here
