Need advice on switching !

Hi, I am wanting to change my current account to get a cash incentive. Looking at First Direct as they are offering £125 and I have not had an account with them before.

My question is this, as we are at the end of the tax year, will it be better to hold off until the new tax year, next month, to see if the deals will be better? Or is the £125 a pretty decent enough deal ?

    The new tax year will make no difference, the deals may be better or worse than the current ones. There might even be no deals at all. Nobody knows except the banks and they don't tell us in advance.

    £125 from First Direct is good, I don't remember them every offering more than that.

    First direct deal ends Monday so you'll need to be quick.
