Changed once for service reasons (to Barclays, wanted to get all my accounts (business and personal) on one website), not for any benefits.
Would I change again, unlikely as it does what I want at a price I'm happy paying.

I'm in the process of changing from Alliance & Leicester to HSBC for my personal accounts.
HSBC do a direct debit / standing order switching services, and promise to pay £10 for each error they make in the process of switching to them.

These can be done electronically now.

Originally posted by Gonzo View PostI changed once but it was for service reasons, not to chase the best rate. I don't recall any issues but it was about 15 years ago and I didn't have any direct debits at that time.
If I remember rightly, the only niggles back then would have been setting up new direct debits if you had any but that should be much easier now than it was then.

Just wondering if anyone on here has changed their bank account since they got their first one and was it worth the hassle/£50 inducement...?
