Switching from Newly Created Chase Account to First Direct

georged123

Has anyone switched from Chase since they joined CASS.

I'm looking to join First Direct to take advantage of their switching bonus but only created my Chase account a few days and wondered if there is a certain time frame until I can switch?

Unless there is some delay with the CASS registration bubbling through the system you can start a switch just as soon as you know the Chase debit card number. Some apps will show you the card number but you usually need to wait for the card to arrive in the post.

Remember Chase don't let anyone go back to them after they switch.

Remember, Chase don't give you the physical debit card number either.

Only visible one is in app.

Debit card is numberless.

I thought after 12 months one can go back to chase?

Why not open a 2nd account with chase in the app for switching? You can then keep the Chase account, get cashback or just hold on to it should they ever offer a competitive savings account.

That's not the word coming out of Chase at the moment. It's leave and you can't go back (for now).

I understand at the moment their system does not allow an old account to be reopened.

No banks will allow you to reopen old account after a switch.
They may let you open a new one.

Sorry you misunderstand me I was not clear enough, their system does not allow another account to be created. So once your account is closed down, they cannot create another one. That is why once you leave Chase you cannot go back. It is a current system limitation.
