Which banks allow account switching to them using an online form/page?

Have some old current accounts to dispose of and it makes less waves and is easier to switch and even easier if I can do it online. Even better if I can switch more than one account into one of my existing current accounts with other providers at the same time.
Will keep a couple of accounts for any switching offer in the future.

Are there any ONLINE switch options to existing accounts with particular banks or BS?

Barclays let you complete a switch through the banking app.2

I believe both Monzo and Starling, though app only banks.

Most of them have online switching forms. In fact, I don't know of any that doesn't. Either on their general website or in online banking / in the app.1

I have done some research and Barclays Halifax Nationwide have online forms. Only exception I have found so far is Santander if switching to an existing account with them it asks you to go in to a branch and may need to make an appointment. So I won’t bother with them in these Covid-19 times.
Im considering opening a new current account with Starling and could offload/switch an account there, due to no foreign usage fees and a bit of interest. Does that mean I can make online purchases from abroad with just the MasterCard exchange rate on the day just as I do now with the Halifax Clarity credit card?
Do you really have to record a video to apply to Starling?0 -
Yes and yes (video saying hello, I'm Bob applying for a Starling account)1

Switches to TSB can be done online - this from their web site (https://www.tsb.co.uk/current-accounts/switching-bank-account/):"You will need to have a TSB account open before applying to switch. Once your account is open you can apply to switch via internet banking or visit one of our local TSB branches."You can, of course, apply for the current account online.
