How will I get my payment?

60 days after you told us to switch your account, we’ll check to make sure you’re eligible and then pay £185 into your qualifying account within the next 30 days. So you can expect payment around 90 days after you tell us to switch your account, as long as you’ve met the eligibility criteria.

If the qualifying account is held in joint names and you’re eligible for the payment, then we’ll make one payment only (you won’t get one payment each). 
If you asked to switch during the offer and we then withdraw the offer before your switch completes, you’ll still be eligible for the as long as you meet the eligibility criteria. 

If you think you’ve met the eligibility criteria and haven’t received your £185 after the 90 days, you can call us on 0330 678 1507.
