Information about our Switching Service
New customers wishing to transfer their account to us from another UK bank can take advantage of our Switching Service.
You will be asked to sign a set of request forms which will let us contact your old bank on your behalf to obtain all of the necessary information about regular payments on your old account. This will allow us to make sure the process of switching your account is quick and convenient for you.
If you would like a printed copy of this information document please speak to a member of staff and we shall be pleased to assist.
Timescales
For new customers, after your new account is open and you have signed the request forms, we will contact your previous bank within two business days to ask for the necessary information about your regular payments. Your previous bank will have up to five business days to provide information on your regular payments and to transfer any remaining funds
