New Natwest / RBS / Ulster Bank £200 Switch Incentive

BarGin

How quickly do Ulster pay the incentive if they are going to? My switch completed last Wednesday and I'd already paid in the requirement. I have had an RBS incentive a few years ago.

I have switched all 3 some time ago and If I remember correctly once the switch is complete Ulster was the quickest although slowest overall.

... allow 7 days from last condition being satisfied ... speaking from experience.

Cross-fingers.

Ulster took weeks to open my account and then paid the bonus almost instantly.

Here apologies if this has been asked before (I can’t find it if so). I did a switch to NatWest. All ok. Then switched from NatWest so account closed. Recently I switched from another account to RBS and I still have that open. I plan to keep that account open. if I switch a different account to Ulster am I likely to get ‘dinged’ since I have an active RBS account? Anyone done something similar successfully? 

Many thanks!

There are no guarantees but they really don't seem to check. I had NatWest and RBS accounts open when I opened the Ulster one and got the bonus. I've kept NatWest and RBS for their regular saver accounts, both paying 6.17% on £150 per month.

I've now received my Santander debit card and have successfully applied to switch to RBS which should open in the next 24-48hrs.  Do I wait for the switch before putting money into the account of can I do that beforehand?

Wait for the switch why the hurry

So I have just switched to RBS,  tried to switch my Lloyds account to Natwest and they said they can't open an account for me.  I haven't had a Natwest account for about 10 years, anyone experienced this, or have any ideas?

Try switching a different bank in. I remember last time I did a Lloyds to NatWest it didn't work so I tried Starling send it did
