  • You're overthinking all this, there is no need to setup new accounts with the new switched account, just open up a couple of simple basic ones either with someone like Monzo or Starling, and do the moves

    You are correct Sir.  I typically overthink things that are new to me until I build up the experience.  You should have seen me with stoozing and matched betting many many years ago ....

    Just open the new accounts online. There will be a drop-down asking why where you can pick something like budgeting/bills.

    Don't try to do it over the phone, it will take longer.
