When switching, need I use the same bank?

Looking at switching providers, do I need to use the same bank account for the direct debit?

I'd prefer to have the company I switch to come out of a different account, but not if it complicates the switching process (and more importantly, the £30 cashback from the energysavingclub!)

Thanks

You can give the new provider different bank account details, it makes no difference to the switching process - the direct debit isn't switched, the new provider sets up a new one using whatever details you provide.
