This seems to be too good to be true. Co-operative bank just sent me a form with my welcome pack with a tick box option of "transfer all my standing orders, direct debits and balance from my old bank account (as above) to my new bank account (as above), and then close my old bank account"
I didn't know they could do this? I thought I'd be off down to HSBC to close my account myself.
I also had a credit card with HSBC, which I am also closing, and opening a new one with Co-op bank, but I have no outstanding balance. I will do all my spending on the new card and pay it off each month (I can build up divi points this way )
Should I expect a letter or phone call from HSBC begging me to stay with them? Will all the balance and SO's and DD's etc be moved at once?
Just a little nervous of the whole process! Anyone else switched lately?
