Joint Account Switches

Hi all,
My partner and I both have current accounts and a joint account with TSB.
I was thinking of switching to First Direct - in order to gain their £175 switch bonus, and each of us to max out their regular saver (7% interest).
If we both switched would we both be able to get this bonus? and both get a regular saver with First Direct?
If just I switched, what would happen to the TSB joint account? Would my wife still be able to use it for our bills?
Thanks in advance for any advice,

  • Yes to all your questions. 

    Nothing would happen to your joint account.

    If you have any SO's moving funds from your individual accounts to the joint then these would be moved to First Direct.

    You'd both still see the joint account, as it would still exist exactly as before.
    The switching service switches just one account. 
    If you have another account at the same bank the other one stays there.

    This is excellent news! The best of both worlds... thanks :)
