Last of the big switch bribes to go

NatWest follows a number of big banks which have scaled back their current account switch incentives. Now, the most cash customers can get is £50 from First Direct. Or switchers would need to recommend a friend to Nationwide or TSB for more.

Rachel Springall, finance expert at Moneyfacts, said: “Clearly this is the wrong time of year for consumers to grab a sweetener when switching their current account. If they are happy to accept M&S gift vouchers as a sweetener, then M&S Bank are offering up to £180 worth for new customers.

“This will be disappointing news for those who waited for until nearer Christmas to get a cash boost by switching. It may be wiser to now way until January to see what sweeteners might come out, as banks tend to bring out offers to entice new customers looking to rework their financial products as a new year’s resolution.”
