thanks for the heads up on this one, am trying my luck with Ulster (have done RBS within the timeframe but understand from past offers they do not often check the other brands, ) so have submitted the application and will see how it goes. 

Do they definitely not check between brands? Did the RBS switch a couple of years ago, but would like to do the Ulster offer (I am in Ulster which helps if I need to visit a branch). I don't want to waste time applying and switching if they do check between the brands.

I cannot say for definite if they will check yours or not. I got through with all 3 at different times within the last few years.

Worth a try!

Yeah, I might as well apply. Worst they can do is not pay the reward. Nothing to lose I guess.

I would like to do this new NatWest switch offer. I switched away from Monzo on 16/01/23 for a previous switch offer with a different bank. Does anyone know how long until I can open a new account with Monzo so that I can switch that again? Is it 30 days? I'm just trying to avoid an unnecessary hard search. TIA

It's definately much longer than 30 days - probably 12 months+ based on reports from other people who've done similar. I'd suggest you try Starling, Metro, or a second current account with a high street bank you already use to get a donor for this switch offer.

it cannot be guaranteed, but i have had both RBS and Natwest incentives in the past at different points of time and received the money, I've not tried Ulster before, but reading on prior switches there have been success from people getting switches from all of them.   

for me its worth a chance, as have a burner account already set up for switching, and the speed of this payout by the sounds of it, will (if i get accepted) not take long to establish if i get the incentive or not (as this time they are paying out within 7 days of all criteria being met as it states:

To get £200, you must:

(a) apply online for an Ulster Select account (‘new eligible account’) via ulsterbank.co.uk from 14th February 2023. The application must then successfully result in an open account. Please note that in some cases, if you apply
for an Ulster Select account and do not meet criteria for that particular account type, we can open a Foundation account for you instead. If this happens you will still be eligible for this offer if you also meet conditions 1(b), 1(c) and 1(d) below;

(b) as part of your application, transfer a non-Ulster current account to your new eligible account (which includes closing your non-Ulster current account and moving all your payment instructions [if any] to your new eligible account) using the Current Account Switch Service online or via the mobile app;

(c) deposit £1,250 into your new eligible account within 60 days of opening your new eligible account; and

(d) log into our mobile banking service within 60 days of opening your new eligible account.

Within 7 calendar days of you meeting conditions 1(a), 1(b), 1(c) and 1(d) above, we’ll pay £200 into your new eligible account. Your new eligible account must be open for us to pay £200 to you. We will not pay £200 after the new eligible account is closed even if you’ve met all required conditions.

Due to the speed, of payout therefore i am not typing up a burner account for months to establish if i get other offers come up on the off chance this works.  So in this case its worth a chance

Anyone know which ULSTER branch you can use if you live in England. It’s asking for it on the application.

Is it not the case that if you've received an incentive from any of them before you're not eligible?

From T&C:
• As stated above, you won’t be eligible for this offer if you’ve already taken advantage of a cash switcher offer from NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland and/or Ulster Bank between 1st October 2017 and 13th February 2023.

Yes, but apparently they don't always check.

You could use Belfast, but you will need to take a boat or plane trip if you need to visit branch........
