Get our £180 offer when you switch into one of our Premier Reward accounts
Apply online or via our mobile app to open a new Premier Reward account and switch your current account held elsewhere using the Current Account Switch Service. This means your old bank account will close and any funds and Direct Debits will move over to us.
If you're an existing customer, you can switch your account held elsewhere in to an existing eligible Premier Reward account, or switch in and upgrade an existing account to one of our Premier Reward accounts.
To be eligible for the offer, within 60 days of completing the switch, you must:
- Have an eligible Premier Reward account.
- Pay in £1,250. This can be made of multiple payments and must remain in the account for 24 hours.
