  • Why close Metro? Might have been useful for swap for cash?

    I signed up for the regular saver plus the 2% cashback on up to £1.5k of DDs, which don't seem to be ruling out any DDs.

    Consequently my Moneybox nominated account has now been changed to Zopa and a DD is being created at this very moment. I'll pull £1.5k through it once this has been done to get the cashback then keep using the account for the regular saver.

    Has anyone gone for just one £1500 DD to move funds out from your Zopa Bank Ac?

    Can you please post a picture of the debit card? With the details censored obviously.
    Not sure if anyone has a physical card yet, bit soon after launch, but here's a  screenshot from the app

    Mine arrived this afternoon. Like the card in the app, the physical card has gone with the ``explosion in a paint factory" theme.

    Possibly because I wanted to?
    As well as my everyday account I have a Co-op account with two active DDs.That can be used for a swap, if the opportunity arrives. If Zopa are part of the C.A.S.S. I can use that too.

    I'm struggling to see the relevance to shutting a Metro account on the context of this thread.

    I had chat with Zopa they are saying max cashback of £30 in a year. So £1500 is not monthly limit but yearly.

    So, swap daily spend from Chase (1% CB) to credit card, set up DD from Zopa to pay off CC in full, get 2% CB.
    Sound OK?

    I've just set one upfor £1500 in one go.. apparently without any problem, at least so far. Showing in my listed DDs for w/c 13th.

    How? And where?
    EDIT: I think I see now, Moneybox savings app, initial save set to £1500 by DD.
