You should be able to switch current accounts at any time, though it’s always best to check if you’re
eligible to do so.
You might have to meet certain criteria with your new account provider such as having a certain
number of direct debits or a minimum amount that needs to be deposited each month. In addition,
sometimes your old bank will require you to settle any overdrafts prior to switching.
With the current account switch service (CASS) you can complete the switch in 7 working days.
Depending on your circumstances, the service can even transfer overdrafts if your old and new bank
or building society allow it.
