Santander Confirms £200 Switch Payout Within 90 Days as Barclays’ £900 Deadline Nears

Strict CASS rules and tight cut-offs make it vital to verify fees, exclusions and timing.

Overview

  • San⁠tander says it will pay £200 within 90 days of a CASS request if customers complete the switch within 60 days, have two active household direct debits and pay in at least £1,500.
  • The bonus is available on the Everyday, Edge, Edge Up, Edge Explorer and Private accounts, excludes those who held a Santander current account on January 1, 2025 or previously received a switch incentive, and may be withdrawn at any time.
  • Santander reiterates that CASS will move balances, income, direct debits, standing orders and payees, with redirection of payments sent to the old account.
  • Barclays is advertising up to £900 by combining a current-account reward (£200 for Barclays Bank Account or £400 for Premier) with up to £500 for ISA transfers, with applications due November 28 for current accounts and ISA transfer requests by November 29.
  • To qualify at Barclays, customers must complete the switch within 30 days, pay in £2,000 to the Barclays Bank Account or £4,000 to Premier and, for the Barclays Bank Account, join Blue Rewards, with the cash paid within 28 working days after meeting the terms.
