Martin Lewis has shared a nifty and very quick way for couples to earn some free cash. There are currently three banks offering up to £200 to new customers who leave their old bank and move their financial services, including Direct Debits to them.
Writing in the latest edition of the MoneySavingExpert.com (MSE.com) newsletter, the consumer champion, said: “If you're unhappy with your bank, switching to a new one is quick and easy these days - and now's a great time to do it as banks are currently offering up to £200 free cash for your custom.”
A recent Twitter poll by the consumer champion found that 55 per cent of couples over-60 are happy keeping their money in a joint account while 70 per cent of younger couples said separate accounts are best, especially “if you've different money personalities - such as a saver with a spender”.
