Looking to open a Starling account

flipflopflo

I'm going to open a Starling account to put the groceries money in each month. Does anyone know if there are any signup bonus's anywhere? I wouldn't like to miss out on free money :-)

No sign up bonus for Starling AFAIK

Cheers cheers O @wiseonesomeofthetime.  I had a good rootle round and couldn’t see anything but you never know with these things if you’ve missed anything.

Halifax reward has a £100 bonus if you switch a donor act into it..... big thread in this section about it.

Really long thread!!

I'm already a Halifax customer of some 25 years so I won't get the switching bonus.
I was looking for a basic account which I could use to transfer a lump sum each month to use just for groceries and I could open on line and quickly.

The Halifax offer is open to existing customers - all you need to do it open a new reward account and jump through a few hoops, but I appreciate that isn't worth the effort for some. It's reasonably straightforward however as previously discussed.

AFAIK the only offer on the table apart from Halifax is a Quidco offer for opening a TSB account - fairly sure that isn't available for basic accounts however.

Nothing of note on TopCashback either (using the inspiration from @PRAISETHESUN Quidco reference)

@PRAISETHESUN, thanks for that, I was told that it was only for new customers. I'll go and have a read of that thread. 

Thanks everyone.
