I wouldn't swap if they offered 10K.

If you look online and go to the Halifax website there are 2 tabs at the top one for personal banking, one for business banking - click on the business tab and you get:

That aside - I don't know why everyone's getting their knickers in a twist over the whole HBOS/RBS/WGAS stuff - the question is:
Can they beat the Cater Allen deal we get or would they have to pay us £1k to switch?
In fact my actual original question was:
Has anyone initiated an actual switch from CA to HBOS/RBS/halifax/WGAS/flipping whatever and can they actually catagorically say whether they will beat the CA deal?
I am interested in hearing from anyone who has actually done this and any feedback they may have

That said the CA deal is a special deal we get through CUK so it might not feel right switching from it just to bag a grand. Who knows maybe they can beat it anyway - I'll find out soon enough as I've filled out the forms.
Boris might make a reappearance soon around Thursday... watch this space"Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like? If that is the case then we have free speech."- Elon MuskComment

It turns out the offer is only valid if they can’t actually beat your current deal and the bird I spoke to said they haven’t yet had to pay it out to anyone.
Can they beat Cater Allen though? I filled out some forms and am waiting to hear back from them – so time will tell.
Has anyone else tried this?Blood in your pooComment

Originally posted by Sausage Surprise View PostDon't understand.....they'll give you a £1000 to switch but only if they can't beat your current deal? Why would you switch if you had a better deal? £1000 would soon be swallowed up by HBOS bank charges."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like?

Originally posted by Sausage Surprise View PostAhhh right...I'll not be switching then thank you very much
If they could I'd be suprised, but if they can't I probably won't switch just for £1k because as you say they'll make it back and more before long"Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like? If that is the case then we have free speech."- Elon MuskComment

I wouldn't change from Cater Allen......
Early days but - account set up, no hitches.....
Asked for internet banking - set up, no hitches....
I'm hoping it will continue.
Like those heady days with Flemings Bank - Sorry gone all misty eyed!
