Martin has explained how to get a nice little pre-Christmas boost to you bank balance
The bank bribes are back, and that means people can get £125 free cash handed to them in time time Christmas, Martin Lewis has said.
The better news is that the money expert has found a way that means almost everyone can benefit – no matter how much they’re paid each month.
“Four banks currently pay, and two of them pay quickly enough for you to get it in plenty of time to boost your Christmas coffers,” Martin wrote in the weekly MoneySavingExpert.com newsletter.
The money is on offer to new customers moving to specific bank accounts – but with three major players involved that shouldn’t be a problem no matter who you’re with now.
There’s also a lot less to worry about when moving between banks these days, with rules now in place guaranteeing it happens in a few days and that all your direct debits out and payments in are switched across too.
“It only takes seven working days and the banks do it all – switching your direct debit and standing orders over, closing your old account, and making sure any payments are forwarded,” Martin said.
