I signed up a few days ago and have received my account details, but zero mention of switch date.

For anyone who was switched, when did you receive confirmation of your switch? Thanks.

As per both my and my wife's experience in November they don't send any confirmation. You chose the date during the application and requesting the switch - and this is the last time you see this information.

Received a confirmation SMS from Co-Op on 21/02 confirming switch completion on 28th (just as I did for the previous switch in January). Account was opened on 09/02, application (with switch request) was a couple of days before that.

I got my switch date just after I applied and then again in a letter from them around a week later telling me the switch start date and completion date.

You should try applying for an HSBC Group account if you think that's slow

3 weeks seems long based on mine and my referees experiences, even during the postal strikes they seemed to be getting through within 5 or so working days. I did have one who says they never received it tho, and has subsequently ordered a new one in order to switch out.

I would agree with you if it is your first HSBC current account. My first HSBC account was the account that took the longest to open until Monmouthshire's Xmas regular saver came along and beat them by a few days.

Though HSBC are considerably quicker on the second account you open with them. I switched out my only HSBC account in March 2022. Applied for a new HSBC current account in November and the debit card arrived within a week, which considering there were postal strikes etc at that time was pretty good going, pin arrived 4 days later (the next non-striking day).

What needs to be done by 28th? The referral sent in? or the account has been opened and switch started?
