Overview
- Santander, which launched the deal on Wednesday, is offering £180 to people who switch a current account using the Current Account Switch Service.
- Eligibility requires a £1,500 deposit within 60 days and at least two active household direct debits from approved bill providers.
- A £25 Amazon gift card is also on offer if the switch starts on MoneySavingExpert, MoneySuperMarket, Experian or Clearscore and the customer makes five debit card purchases in 30 days.
- The promotion covers Everyday, Edge, Edge Up, Edge Explorer and Private (v2) accounts and excludes anyone who held a Santander current account on January 1, 2025 or who has already taken a Santander switch incentive.
- Santander says it will pay the £180 within 90 days, and Pay UK notes switching remains strong as banks compete on sign‑up bonuses.
