Switching individual accounts

My wife and I have switched our joint account to First direct, Halifax, HSBC etc. Can we also switch separate individual accounts?

    Do the terms of those providers' account switch incentives preclude existing customers/those who have previously had an incentive?

    I think you'll find they do, but you should check for yourself to be sure.

    Your post serves as a warning to all other joint account switchers...it's like throwing £1000 or so away. Stick to sole accounts for max returns. By all means convert one of them to a joint later, but at least double up on the incentives first!
