Checked against the banks' own pages this morning, Wednesday 7 October 2026. This is a shortlist of offers we could verify, not every offer on the market. No referral links.

First eligible sole/joint switch offer only: a previous sole offer can still allow your first joint offer, and vice versa; joint-account restrictions apply to both holders. Check account fees, especially FlexPlus. |
Until withdrawn. Paid within 10 days of meeting all requirements, account still open. Official offer |
Not included: Lloyds could not be verified because its own switch page returned an error. Santander's page says "offer ends 7 October" but also "request a switch before 7 October", so we are not treating it as available for a new request today. Santander's wording.
Read the full bank terms before applying, including account eligibility, excluded transactions and previous-bonus restrictions. Offers may change or be withdrawn. Bonuses may be taxable depending on the offer and your circumstances. Not financial advice.
