PLEASE DISREGARD! Their website is confusing. I don't know how to delete my thread!
https://www.nationwide.co.uk/products/current-accounts/flexdirect/apply
Went to open an account with this one, the 5% looked good based on the MSE recommendations, but the 'need to knows' doesn't state that I need to switch bank accounts in order to receive the 5% interest and yet their website does.
Has anyone else successfully opened a FlexiDirect 5% without having to switch accounts? (obviously if you were referred from a friend you would in order to meet their criteria). I'm not interested in switching my main bank account.
Here's MSE notes: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/banking/compare-best-bank-accounts/#nationwideflexdirect

You do not have to switch accounts to open this one.
If you do switch then you and other referer get £1000 -

ceredigion ... Who's asking?!
YorkshireBoy ... I don't, no. I thought if you switched you only got the £100 kick back if you were referred, switch and bring with you two active DDs? And, to clarify, I'm interested in the 5% interest on the FlexiDirect current account. I don't have the means to do both the saver and current account at the same time. I hope I'm being clear?0 -

I'm pretty sure this isn't an option, at least I couldn't find it in the fine print. If I have been referred and I end up switching, and bringing with me 2 DDs then yes, I can get the £100 as will the person who refers me. But, if I simply switch without being referred, I don't appear to gain anything other than what's on offer if I don't switch bank accounts.
If you have some info I couldn't find, I'd be pleased as punch to have a look!0 -

Go on the referrals board and ask someone to refer you.0
