Fresh Direct Debits for Switching!!!!

[Deleted User]

The first direct switch when I did it just needed £1000 in your account to be moved in within x number of days, no DDs needed

A lot of switching offers require DD to be switched from the old account

Yes I know that. I was thrown by the inclusion of the word ‘from’ as the whole account needs to be switched.

I’ve just had a quick look at the FD switch page. Can’t see any mention of DDs. 

@wilf1234
what do you mean when you say the account you’re switching from needs 2 DDs?

Another forumite mentioned FD, not me!. I'm looking at Nationwide, which requires 2 DD's to be switched over 

Apologies. I now realise you didn’t specify the switch incentive.

OP didn’t mention First Direct. 

You’ve fallen into the same trap as I did😉

PayPal is the quickest way to set one DD up

If you send money via Friends and Family and select the linked bank account, then does it get taken via DD.

I just linked an account last night, and when I go to send money it states that it will be sent right away, don't understand that. Could it be because the DD is not actually showing/setup on the bank account yet? It has been verified.

Nevermind, topped up my PayPal balance using the app instead and it states five working days so it must be via DD.

I initiated a DD with PayPal on the 3rd, taken on the 10th ETA 17th. It's never taken that long before
