From this week, when you switch bank account, it’ll all be done in 7 days (see our 7-Day Switching Help). It won’t just be your direct debits and standing orders that’ll move - money coming into your old account will also be forwarded, for 13 months. So will you switch? Which of these is closest to your situation? (Please only vote in the category that applies to you)

We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
