Changing the bank used to be tedious and time consuming.
Most people never bothered to change after they first started using a high
street bank. To change this atmosphere of stagnation and to induce greater
competition, the UK government has introduced a scheme were your bank must be
able to close and transfer your account to another bank within 7 days.
This is a process which normally took around a month to do
which was the reason for people to be reluctant in switching. Here are some of
the features:
1. For
13 months, payments accidentally made to your old accounts will be transferred to
your new account. The sender will also be contacted with your updated bank
details.
2. Direct
Debit’s and standing orders as well as pay will be automatically transferred to
the new account.
3. Any
money in the account will be transferred!
4. New
bank will refund any losses if there is a mistake made which incurs charges or
interest lost.
5. This
service is free!
A potential pit fall with using the scheme is that any
recurring payments also known as continuous payments are not part of the
guarantee. These are payments organised using just your debit card and not your
bank account details. These payments need to be manually changed by contacting
the concerned parties.
A final thought, if you want your old account open after the
switch this is not possible. To do this you will have to switch the old way
which takes around 30 days with no guarantees made on payment redirection.
Happy switching!
