Back by popular demand: TSB’s ‘recommend a friend’ and share £150 offer
TSB customers can pocket up to £375 for recommending TSB’s Classic Plus account to friends and family – earning £75 for each person that switches
Customers referred to join Classic Plus will receive £75 for switching, and can earn up to £1441,2 in their first year
TSB’s Classic Plus account is already one of the best current accounts available and Britain’s most recommended high street bank3 has now relaunched its new ‘recommend a friend’ offer giving £75 to its Classic Plus customers who refer a friend that switches from their current bank to TSB’s Classic Plus account. Friends who are referred will also receive £75 when they join TSB.
The offer was initially only available to the first 5,000 customers who switched to TSB, however due to popular demand the Bank has now brought the offer back so that even more customers can make the most of the deal. The offer runs from 09 March 2018 until 09 April 2018, with no limit on the number of customers who can benefit.
This offer enables the challenger bank to bring great banking to more people – rewarding its existing customers alongside new customers who join. Existing customers can refer up to five friends – earning up to £375 if all five friends switch. Friends who have been referred and switch their bank account to TSB will also receive £75, giving new customers a great start with TSB.
Existing Classic Plus customers should visit www.tsb.co.uk/recommend-tsb/ to recommend TSB’s Classic Plus account to their friends and family.
No bank gives you more with no monthly fee
New customers opening a TSB Classic Plus account will be rewarded with £5 for making 20 debit card payments within a month plus an extra £5 if they make at least two direct debits each month. That’s a total of £100 in their first year1. Designed to give new customers a great start with TSB, the cashback offer will run until the end of 2018.
In addition, Classic Plus also comes with 3% AER credit interest on balances up to £1,5002 – that means customers can earn up to £44 in credit interest over a year if they have £1,500 in their account at all times. All for no monthly fee.
Craig Bundell, TSB’s Director of Personal Current Accounts, says: “As Britain’s challenger bank, it’s our mission to make banking better for all UK customers and this new offer is another example of that.
“Classic Plus is already one of the best current accounts available in the UK and we saw around 1,000 customers a day vote with their feet to bring their banking to TSB in 2017.
Since we launched our new ‘recommend a friend’ offer last month, it’s been great to see customers voting with their feet to join TSB and make the most of our offer. As it’s been so popular, I’m really pleased that we’re now bringing it back so we can continue to reward our existing customers alongside new customers who join us – with both pocketing £75 each.”
