A UK bank says it is giving customers £175 free cash if they switch their current account using the Current Account Switch Service (CASS).
The "market leading" cash offer is available through First Direct. Customers must also pay in at least £1,000 within three months of opening the account to be eligible for the £175.
First Direct said: "We know switching banks sounds like it'll be a nightmare, but we promise it's not. With the Current Account Switch Service (CASS), choose a date and we’ll move everything over for you in just 7 working days. Any (unlikely) mistakes will cost us, not you."
