My Switch from Nationwide to Halifax was completed today. I've received an SMS from them stating that the switch is completed. Logging into Halifax account I can see the £125 incentive in the account but is missing the money I had in the Nationwide account. Does it take some time to show the money from the old account? Should I call them now?

Was the switch originally scheduled to complete today, 22/11/2021?
Can you still access your Nationwide account?

Yes, the switch was scheduled to complete today (22/11/2021).
Accessing Nationwide through the mobile app doesn't show any account available. It's like I don't have a Nationwide account, supposed it's already closed.

I would give Halifax a call then just to verify, as balances usually transfer by this time on the completion date (as long as there is definitely a positive balance to transfer after overdraft/debts have settled).

Sorry if this has been answered already, however do the Halifax credit score you for a 2nd account.

I remember when I opened my 2nd Lloyds account sometime ago they never credit scored me for it.

Hi

I'm in the same position as you due to switch today and had conformation text from Halifax. Did you get the confirmation letter from Nationwide? If something has gone wrong you still have access to your statements. You would have to register separately as closed accounts won't be available through online banking. I think we just need to be patient.

Cheers

Just contacted Halifax, they state they haven't received any money from Nationwide, to contact them.
Nationwide says the account is still showing as open even if I can't see it through the app or mobile banking, to wait a couple of days...

Thanks for that. I don't think there's anything to worry about.

You might want to check your Halifax account my switched Nationwide balance is now showing in the app.

When you do the switch does it ask for the card number of your old account?

Yes the long card number is required and expiry date. Just arranged my wife's old Tesco account switch for her, although she never used the card she had to dig it out for the details above.

Thanks for the thread. Account opened (2nd Reward) and now sorting an account to use to switch
