I had it confirmed by live chat this morning it only needs to stay in 24 hours similar to the NatWest group switch 😊

There is nothing in the terms and conditions about it having to stay any length of time.

I paid in £1500 and then sent it back to my Halifax account because nothing in the t's and c's. I've now paid in another £1500 and I'll keep  it in for 24 hours just to be on the safe side lol .

Many thanks for this link. Managed to convince a couple of family members who had accounts open ready for bank switches to do this before midnight. Hopefully it counts, but no harm in trying since the DDs can be set up later anyway.

Ooooohhhhh, interesting! I wasn't planning on doing this until next week when I had a bit more time on my hands, but just got my application in before the midnight deadline (and £25 of pending cashback ).



I don't actually qualify for the incentive (not that that's ever stopped me) as I got one a few years ago, but never any harm in trying.

no email or text yet and no sign of the account in the app, same circumstances as your OH.
I'm taking a wild guess that they don't process applications on a sunday and monday was a bank holiday.
I'll wait and see what happens this week before contacting them

thanks!! looks like a waiting game now. 

no email or text this morning as well

any updates? I am going to ring them up in the morning as nothing has happened and the offer was pulled yesterday.

Ordered my switch last week. Just got the paper work through with my debit card, has anyone had to send them some paper work back? It’s the only bank I’ve had to sign stuff and send stuff back to them.

Got some paperwork the other day. Do you mean the paper copy of the switch agreement/terms etc which has a box for a couple of signatures? 

I think that is just for your records. Probably the same doc that they use if you did the switch in person. 

I got a follow up letter in the post which again refers to the switch and has my bank details of the account I’m switching from.

I reckon that paperwork is simply a duplicate record of the two accounts in question for customer information.

It wasn't at all made clear when received by post last week.

So I just completed, signed and dated it all and returned in the mail.........in case it was required.

Email arrived this morning - switching process all completed, so I doubt it was required.

Would be interested to know how quickly in reality anyone gets their switching bonus.  I know it says 60 days to check and can then be another 30 days, but would be nice if sooner!

I applied on the first day. I'm sure we will all be shouting up when it comes!
