New customers± switching to TSB’s Classic Plus account will receive £130 for switching. The switching offer will run until 4 December 2017. Switchers will need to make sure at least £500 is paid into the new account within 28 days of the switch. All active credits and debits must be transferred as part of the switch.

No bank gives you more with no monthly fee

In addition to the switcher offer, customers can also earn up to £10 cashback each month until the end of June 2018. Account holders will receive £5 every month just for having two monthly Direct Debits set up‡, plus another £5 cashback will be received every month for using the Classic Plus debit card at least 20 times a month, including by using Apple and Android Pay‡.

Classic Plus also comes with 3% AER credit interest on balances up to £1,500† that means customers can earn up to £45 in credit interest in the first year of account opening 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 consumers and that includes ensuring people look at their existing current account and make sure they are getting the best deal. Sadly we know too few people are switching their current accounts and are missing out on some great benefits.

“Earlier this month we brought back our popular switching offer and it’s been great to see so many customers voting with their feet to join TSB – I’m delighted that we are now able to make this offer available via many other comparison websites”.

Helping Norwich & Peterborough Building Society customers

Earlier this year, Norwich and Peterborough Building Society (N&P) revealed that all of its current accounts would be closing, affecting around 100,000 people.

Although N&P is not part of the banking industry’s seven-day Current Account Switch Service, to help customers with a smooth switch, TSB has created a bespoke ‘manual’ switching service for N&P customers. This means that N&P customers can take advantage of TSB’s new current account switching offer, unlike similar offers which typically require a customer to use the Current Account Switch Service. In these instances, customers can visit their local TSB branch once the account has been opened via any of the price comparison sites the offer is available, where a TSB partner will help arrange the manual switch for N&P customers.
