First Direct switching

Hi,

Apologies if this has already been asked, but I couldn't see it mentioned anywhere else.

My wife and I both have a current account each and a joint account, all with the same bank. If I were to switch all of our accounts to First Direct would we get £150 for each account, considering we both get paid more than enough into our current accounts and then pay in more than £1000 into the joint account between us? We also would fulfil the direct debits needed on all the accounts.

Thanks for any advice

J

    You need to switch both your solo accounts first via the switching process, once they are both open you can bring in your joint account. You will only get a maximum of £150 for you and £150 for your wife.
