This is a switch I haven't done I've looked at the terms and can't see this explicity, I need a new burner with Lloyds, if I start the account opening for Natwest, whilst I wait for the Lloyds card can I start the switch at that point (might be 4-5 days) but it'll be within the 60 days.Or do I have to pop the switch details in at the time of application? Can't see why I can't do this after (provided it's within the timeline and via the app/web as it states) but just making sure0

You don't have to start the switch when you apply. I've opened accounts with Natwest, RBS and Ulster then later down the line switched accounts to them and successfully received incentives from each. As long as the offer is still running when you start the switch you will be ok.adamp87 said:This is a switch I haven't done I've looked at the terms and can't see this explicity, I need a new burner with Lloyds, if I start the account opening for Natwest, whilst I wait for the Lloyds card can I start the switch at that point (might be 4-5 days) but it'll be within the 60 days.Or do I have to pop the switch details in at the time of application?

I got a email from Ulster yesterday saying thanks for switching to us and the switch was in progress. I haven’t got anything saying about the account being open, but I got a text this morning saying the debit card and pin have been sent out. When I try registering for anytime banking, I get an error message saying service is not available. Any ideas anyone please? Ulster are busy by the looks of things, as the OB help team isn’t picking up on the webchat.The_Green_Hornet said:
Here is a timeline for my switch to Ulster.pecunianonolet said:Got the RBS/Natwest switch into existing accounts pain free. Hesitating to open a new account with Ulster or not. Not sure if another hard search is what I want, but on the other side £200 are a nice.
Anyone able to bullet point the steps with Ulster as they seem to be rather on the slow side it seems. What branch to put down I will never have to visit? Sorry but can't read 33 pages to maybe find the info.

When I applied I got a welcome email containing my customer number. I seem to recall I had to wait for an activation code to arrive in the post before I could register for online banking though, which arrived a few days later.ForumUser7 said:

How long did it take people to hear from Ulster? Application completed almost a week ago now, email confirming the application on the night and then silence..0
