Switching bank account from TSB to First

Hi good people!

I am thinking of switching my bank account with my girlfriend from TSB to First to get 125 GBP.

But the thing is that besides our private accounts we have one joint account - do you think it is possible to get 3rd account as well (for free)? Or we can leave join account in TSB? (because it is free)

Best Regards

    With the exception of a few packaged accounts, the majority of UK bank accounts are free, so this isn't really a significant benefit.

    You could switch your joint account to First Direct as well as the sole ones but you wouldn't receive another switching incentive of £125 for doing so, so you might as well leave it where it is or switch it to another bank offering incentives, see https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/banking/compare-best-bank-accounts#bonus
