    Hope this is the right thread.
    I'd love to share the link but this effin forum won't let me post it's own link about switching accounts to the Santander 123 Lite a-c.

    There's a dedicated Santander switching thread you might find useful

    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
