Satisfied Switchers

I switched to my current account provider due to the switching deal they were offering. I was initially nervous about the process in case bill payments and my salary didn't go through on time. However, the process was smooth and took just 7 days. All bill payments were switched over and my salary went into my new account with no issues.

Joanne Current account user
I was really pleased with my switch, the whole process was very straightforward, and on the switch day everything was set-up on my new account, including all my online banking arrangements, so I could hit the ground running.

Richard Fincham Camberwell
I was able to fill in the simple forms online in the comfort of my own home. Nothing could be easier! I was kept up to date with every aspect of the switch and was able to choose my own switch date. All of my payments in and out were swapped correctly. All in all, a fantastic service that makes it easy to move confidently to a bank that you are happier with.

Stephanie Earl Warwickshire
I used the Current Account Switch Service and found it completely hassle free, my payments and Direct Debits were switched over and not one hitch was noted. I highly recommend this service.

Gary Puddepha Current account user
The process was incredibly easy and I would highly recommend everyone consider using the service.

David Glasglow
I switched my main current account, which I had used for many years, and which had all my direct debits and standing orders set up. Using the Current Account Switch Service was easy, went without a hitch and my new account took over seamlessly where the old one left off, enabling me to get the benefits of a higher interest paying account with no hassle.

Steve Rose Current account user
Would highly recommend the Current Account Switch Service. Simple, straightforward and reliable. Once I had given my old bank details, my new account was set up on the date agreed and all my Direct Debits transferred over. No need to waste time calling each supplier individually or arranging closure of your old account.
