New Santander Switch - Direct Debits?

149 Posts

I'm switching a spare/dummy account to Santander which already has two active DDs for small amounts.
But reading the Santander terms it reads as if new DDs have to be set up only once the switch is complete.
So just to clarify does anyone know if existing DDs from the dummy account are acceptable or are new one's needed?
Thanks.

the Qualifying Account, you will also need to have:
2.3.1 successfully completed the switch, which includes
closing the account not held with us;
2.3.2 at least two active Direct Debits in place on the
Qualifying Account (Direct Debits must be active at the
point we assess the Qualifying Account), and cannot
include Direct Debits set up to fund a savings account
