Current account holders can get £200 if they switch to Santander, but you’ll need to act quickly.
The bank is offering the incentive to people who open a current account with them and request a switch using the current account switching service before the offer is withdrawn tomorrow.
Customers have to complete the switch within 60 days of their request, have at least two active household direct debits and pay in at least £1,500 to get the £200 offer.
Anyone who held a current account with Santander on 1 January 2025 or has previously received a Santander switcher incentive will not be eligible.
Co-op is also ending its switching offer. Customers can get up to £175 if they apply for a Co-op bank current account and request a switch before the end of tomorrow.
To qualify for an initial £100 payment, switchers will need to deposit at least £1,000, have two or more active direct debits, make ten or more card transactions and register for online banking or the mobile app.
Customers can then get a further £25 a month for up to three months if they continue to meet the above criteria monthly.
