Get £150 when you switch to our Santander Edge current account
 

We offer a simple, reliable and stress-free way to switch your current account using the Current Account Switch Service.

Within 60 days of submitting your initial switch request, you'll need to complete the full switch, set up 2 active Direct Debits and paid in £1,500. This isn't available if you've already had an incentive payment to switch to a Santander current account. It’s important that the details you give us when switching are correct and the same as the ones held at your old bank. If you need to update anything on your old account, it’s best to do this before you start your switch.

Offer may be withdrawn at any time. T&Cs apply

    Santander £150 switcher offer
    Terms and conditions (‘These Terms’)
    These terms and conditions govern our ‘switcher offer’ of a £150 payment for eligible switches. The switcher offer starts on
    4 November 2024 and lasts until we withdraw it (see general term 4 below).
    To qualify for the switcher offer you must meet our eligibility criteria.
     Submit a switch request on or after 4 November 2024 and before the switcher offer is withdrawn (see general term 4).
    Complete a full switch to a new or existing Santander Edge, Edge Up, Everyday or Private (v2) current account (your ‘Santander
    account’) using the Current Account Switch Service (CASS).
     Within 60 days of you submitting your initial switch request, you’ll need to:
    - complete the full switch, which includes closure of your external account
    - pay at least £1,500 into your Santander account, through 1 or more payments
    - have at least 2 active Direct Debits in place on your Santander account. These Direct Debits must be active at the point we
    assess your eligibility. This doesn’t include any Direct Debits set up to fund a savings account you have with Santander,
    cahoot or Cater Allen.
     Continue to hold your Santander account, including 2 active Direct Debits, on the date we make the switcher offer payment.
    Please note: not all banks take part in CASS. For details, speak to your own bank or visit currentaccountswitch.co.uk
    You won’t qualify for the switcher offer if:
    - you’re not a UK resident
    - you switch from an account you hold with Santander, cahoot or Cater Allen
    - you’re switching to any other Santander account that isn’t named above
    - anyone named on the Santander account has previously received an incentive payment to switch to a Santander current account
    since September 2021.
    Switcher offer payment
    ○ We’ll check your Santander account 60 days after the switch
    has been instructed. If you qualify, we’ll make the switcher offer
    payment to you within 30 days following our decision.
    ○ The payment will be made directly into your Santander account.
    No alternative payment is available.
    ○ We’ll make 1 payment into your Santander account. You and any
    joint account holder(s) won’t be entitled to more than 1 payment
    between you.
    ○ We reserve the right to not make the payment if we suspect the
    switcher offer is being abused.
    ○ If you request a switch after the switcher offer starts but we
    withdraw the offer before the switch completes, you’ll still be
    eligible for the payment as long as you meet the eligibility criteria.
    General terms
    1. 2. 3. 4. 5. In these Terms, ‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’ means Santander UK plc.
    In these Terms, ‘you’ means person or persons named on the
    account.
    You can’t transfer this offer to anyone else.
    We have the right to withdraw, alter or replace this switcher
    offer at any time and without notice to you.
    These Terms apply in addition to and should be read together
    with the terms and conditions contained in the Current Account
    Switch Agreement, our General Terms and Conditions and the
    Key Facts Document that govern the Santander account.

    Darnit....just checked my records and had a switch incentive paid in Nov 2021
  • Ive just done x2 of the new Santander sign ups where we got £36 each. Can I switch into these accounts and get the £150 too? I've never done a Santander switch before.
  • March 2022 so I'm out.


  • May '24 for me and it was £175

    If you need a new Santander account for this, check Topcashback or Quidco - currently offering £20 / £22.59 for opening the account.

    Damn! Opened one before I saw the topcashback suggestion. Quick query, I have a 2nd Chase current account I thought I'd switch but it has no debit card and so they won't accept it.  If I instead switch my original Chase current account does anybody know if I'll then be able to get a debit card for my remaining Chase account.
  • Do santander check re previous incentives?

    Use the newly opened Chase account number with your existing Chase debit card number. It should be fine because Chase only issue one card, and the card details are only used as a security check - they don't switch any debit card payments. 

    Do santander check re previous incentives?
    Yes, they do. Other forum members have reported being declined during previous campaigns, due to having already received incentives.

    Thanks. I'm wondering if that is why my Chase to Natwest switch keeps getting rejected,  because I say I don't have a Chase debit card.
