So what counts as "any direct credit". Can you just make a payment in from another bank account?

It's a good question, that maybe someone else could answer. I don't know.

I'm getting a small DWP payment paid in.

iFast Global Bank

It's any direct credit paid into your iFast Global Bank account by BACS. My understanding is iFast are are promoting their new arrangement with BACS.

So I guess this would. Have to be a salarypension or benefit payment really. May be a bit of a hassle to set it up to game it.

IG SIPP

Yes, I'm interested in how your SIPP transfer goes.

I'm also looking to transfer my drawdown SIPP and am considering the IG offer as I would get the max £3000.

I don't much like the charge for doing the in-specie transfers. £250, I think it was. Usually free IME.

A quick look at their available investments show that they have the ones I require. Better than Fidelity - for the ones I checked, anyway.

I received an email from Santander Boosts today about this opportunity (remote) to win a pair of tickets to the Formula 1® Pirelli British Grand Prix 2026 at Silverstone by depositing money into an eligible savings account, which includes Santander Edge saver, Regular Saver, Easy Access Saver, Limited Access Saver and Easy Access ISA. You can earn up to a maximum of 1 entry per eligible savings account, per day.

Apparently the opening date for entries was 5 January 2026, but I've only just been made aware of it and don't remember seeing it mentioned previously in this thread. The closing date for entries is 31 March 2026.

The only Santander Boosts offers I've taken advantage of to date were freebies from grüum for my other half. She said they made her feel sick 😕

I'm pleased with the £23 bonus I got from Invest Engine today. It was a fairly easy sign up process. And I got the bonus credit within 24 hours.

Thanks, same here. One thing to note is withdrawals after 1pm are processed the next working day.
