    It doesn't say that anywhere. It says the bonus will be paid by April 13th. That could be any time between now and then.

    Transferred £1500 in on yesterday's payday and am doing £500 out in chunks over 3 days. The app is letting me do this without the card reader, but the payee is one that transferred over from my old account. This part has gone smoothly :)

    Has anyone tried taking advantage of the First Direct switch offer of £125 (through money savings experts website). Apparently I didn!!!8217;t meet thier account openeifn criteria, all sorts of questions asked about how much money I would be putting into the account initially and over 12 months, also if anyone else would be making deposits and how much on a monthly basis as well as details of my main bank account (sort code and account number requested). Disappointed that it didn!!!8217;t work as I answered honestly and stated that the account would be used more for savings rather than having my wage paid in each month. Anyone else have a similar experience? Or a better one?

    I tried last year and was rejected. Somewhat surprised as I usually get accepted for most things, e.g. NatWest offered me £2,250 overdraft with this account, and just got an Amex Gold card.

    Yeah that is surprising, same here I!!!8217;ve been approved for most things and from the questions they were asking it almost seems like they want a certain type of customer, like they are looking at more than just your credit file. I could be wrong, not sure weather or not to try again or to even bother trying a different bank as I!!!8217;m worried I may get rejected again.

    Well I’m not keeping this NatWest account, so I may try a switch to First Direct — the 5% savings account is attractive.
