First direct

I am thinking of opening a First Direct Current Account, partly for the switching [STRIKE]bribe [/STRIKE] bonus, but also to get access to the regular saver account.
But I already have several current accounts, which presumably they will see on a credit check (though they will also see that I am solvent), and my income just halved (retired). I have heard that First Direct don't accept all applicants. Is this true? Does anyone know or at least have an inkling of what their criteria are?

All banks might turn down your application. All you can do to find out whether FD will accept you is apply.0
