CHANGE YOUR BANK CURRENT ACCOUNT

RESEARCH shows that UK adults are more likely to change their life partner than their bank account. But switching your current account can bring additional perks such as travel insurance or breakdown cover. You may also get cashback as an incentive to make the move – and a better bank account as a result.

M&S Bank, for example, offers a £125 gift card to new current account customers switching their main account as well as a £5 monthly top-up if you meet its criteria. First Direct pays £100 cash for those moving to its 1st Account. But base your decision on all of the account features, not just the cashback incentive.
