Zopa are now offering 3% on direct debits up to £3000 for new customers so for those of you who have maybe been waiting it out, looks to be a more attractive offering

Mine says 2% too. I've just paid out £2k so we'll see at the end of the month how much I get.

I recently opened this account and received the £30 about two weeks after the DD was processed.

Would you be kind enough to share your source, can't find any reference to this increase.

Reading through these comments, I don't think this will last for too long.

They will soon introduce exceptions for those direct debits. First they let people show them how they exploit loopholes and then they'll close them.

It's also a good way to have your accounts closed by the bank and get permanently banned. It reminds me those who switch bank accounts for a bonus and as soon as they get the bonus, the switch the new account elsewhere or close it.

I've switched bank accounts for no other purpose than to 'earn' bonuses that total ~£2.5k, other contributors here will have gained far more. I'm not aware of a single case of sanctions being applied to people for this specific activity. 

So there's a few of us on here that you're not aware of...

Banks do not usually disclose the specific reason for closing accounts.  How do you know that sanctions have been applied because of switching accounts?

I went looking for this earlier, and saw someone had screengrabbed a Facebook ad and shared it on Reddit.

That ad did mention the above offer.  Right now I can't find the link to the screenshot though.

Perhaps they are doing some AB testing to see if it changes customer behaviour.

This is the link AFAIK

Can someone who knows more about FB than me (not hard) verify that it's genuine, given the address?
