Switching your bank account? Right now, several UK banks are offering up to £200 in free cash when you make the move—and it’s easier than ever to claim. Here’s what you need to know, in clear, no-fluff detail.
How Bank Switching Works
The Current Account Switch Service (CASS) handles almost all the heavy lifting. It guarantees:
- A smooth switch in just 7 working days
- Automatic transfer of balance, incoming and outgoing payments
- Closure of your old account
- Protection against charges or missed payments if something goes wrong.
Most high-street and digital banks participate in CASS, so switching is simple and secure.
