Boomed..... For being Lazy

[CheeseSlice]

A few years ago I tried to open an account with them and was literally interrogated by this Gestapo style woman, who sat there scowling at my passport as I tried to justify my apparently highly suspicious decision!

You should have offered to 'not apply', but only if they give you £4,000 for not doing it.

[WTFH]

Seems this country is rewarding laziness these days.

I've been too lazy to switch from RBS for a number of years now - despite a horrific service and terrible banking system. I kept getting these letters in the post promising £1,000 to switch to a competing bank. I was baffled and just ignored it. Then it started to creep up, first to £1,500 then £2,000 then £3,000. I was still too lazy as I thought it's too much effort for the butler. Eventually it got to £4,000 and I'd had enough of RBS as well as Corona kicking in..... Then I switched to Starling.

Great business bank, great app, a joy to use and £4,000 on top. If that isn't a boom then I don't know what is frankly.....

Today I got offered £4,200 to switch to Clydesdale.

It's being processed now.
