Santander bank switch

I have a credit card and a savings account with Santander but not a current account. Does anyone know if I can switch in my current account to Santander online to get the £200 switching incentive or do I need to do this in branch?

If you think something's on the wrong board, please hit the 'report' button and we can move it. This is preferable to asking people to re-post on a different board (which itself is a breach of our rules and means that replies are split between two threads).

You can do it online, theres no need to mess around going to a branch, part of the sign up will ask you if you want to switch an existing account.

As above, you can open a new Santander current account through your online banking - no need for a branch visit unless you really want to. As a part of the account opening process, you can elect to switch a current account from a different bank to your new Santander one.
