Martin Lewis has issued a warning to anyone thinking of switching their bank account to take advantage of an introductory offer
. Many high street banks are offering sweetener deals to encourage people to change to them - with as much as £200 in cash available in some cases.
Appearing on Good Morning Britain today , Mr Lewis was taking questions from viewers - and co-host Susanna Reid read out one. She asked: “Sarah has emailed to say she’s looking at switching her bank account due to the cash incentive offered. But her qualifying bank is the one that she’s had since she was a child and has been opened for more than 18 years.“If she closes this account, will it affect her credit rating, which is currently good?” Mr Lewis replied: “You don’t have a credit rating.
He also took the time to run through some of the best deals currently available. He said HSBC has just launched a free £200 and it also has a five per cent linked regular savings account. “There are various different ones. I haven’t got time to run through them all. It also gives you £3 a month cash back. What it actually does is it charges you £2 a month, and it gives you £5 a month. So that’s a net £3 a month, £36 a year as long as you’re using its app and you’ve got enough direct debits going out and a six per cent linked regular saver, and then you’ve got First Direct.
