Who is doing the best switch?

I have a couple of Santander accounts - a 123 joint account for OH and I, and an old 123 current account for just me.
I stick most of my pay into our joint as its the main bill paying account, and I send more money into an E Saver for our wedding.
Which now means the 123 account for just me isn't providing any real value at £5 a month, as I typically only keep a few hundred in it for casual spending, and the only DD I have on it is breakdown cover and my phone.
What would you recommend I switch to?

OP if you are paying more than £750/month into your Santander account you *could* consider the Halifax.
Currently has an incentive of £125 for switching and a further £5/month when you pay in at leas £750/month and have two active Direct Debits being paid out.It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer.0
