Martin Lewis has shared which banks offer you money for switching or opening an account. The money saving expert was back with his show, the Martin Lewis Money Show Live, on ITV on Tuesday night, answering people's burning financial questions.
In one segment of the show, he shared the banks that are currently paying you to switch. He called on the audience to "ditch and switch and get paid to do it." Among the top for up-front cash was Nationwide, who Martin said would give you a free £200 for switching "in time for Christmas." He added that it also had up to 5% interest on up to £1,500 for a year.
He added that it had a "good service rating" and is a "pretty well-rounded account". He said: "You need to have a grand a month going into it which is just it's way of saying, 'Pay your salary of £12,000 in.'" Although he added there was a "trick."
