As part of the switching process, First Direct helps you handle the transfer from your previous bank with minimal hassle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First Direct said: <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSwitching your everyday banking to your new first direct account is easy. Once your first direct account is open, simply log into your first direct app, select the account you wish to transfer into, tap \u2018switch to us\u2019 from your account menu and follow the instructions. We will ask you for your account details, existing account details and preferred switching date.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n \u201cOnce we\u2019ve received your switch request and your current account is open, we\u2019ll let your old bank know you’re moving. We set up all your regular payments on your new first direct 1st Account. We tell all your Direct Debit originators you’ve moved banks and give them your new details, including your employer so your salary can be redirected. There’s nothing at all for you to do, no calls or anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n This customer-first approach simplifies the switching process, offering a seamless transition with no extra paperwork or calls needed. The best part? You\u2019ll also be able to take advantage of a \u00a3250 interest-free overdraft<\/strong> and no fees when using your First Direct debit card abroad, ideal for frequent travellers. In addition, the account grants access to a high-interest savings account, offering 7% AER\/gross on a Regular Saver account.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow the First Direct Switching Offer Works<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
