TSB launches new switcher offer worth up to £160, plus choice of reward
- New customers switching to TSB will receive £100 upfront
- Customers can also earn double the cashback (increasing from £5 to £10 a month) in the first six months of account opening – earning up to £60
- Customers can also choose a reward for staying
From today, new customers who switch to a TSB Spend & Save or Spend & Save Plus current account, can receive £100, and £60 - £90 in cashback in the first year of account opening, plus the choice of one of three rewards.
New customers must switch to TSB using the Current Account Switch Service from 23 May 2024 and before the offer is withdrawn. The switch must be completed within 21 days from request. New customers can apply through tsb.co.uk, in branch or in the TSB Mobile Banking app.
To receive the £100, customers must make a minimum of five payments using their debit card or contactless using Google/Apple pay on their new Spend & Save or Spend & Save Plus account and log into the TSB Mobile Banking app at least once, by 5 July. If these conditions are met, TSB will pay £100 into the new account between 17 July 2024 and 31 July 2024.
The offer is limited and can be withdrawn at any time. TSB will give notice of the withdrawal date ahead of time.
Earning double cashback
For the first six months, TSB is also offering new customers the chance to earn double cashback, raising the cashback offer from £5 to £10 a month – meaning new customers can earn a total of £60 (£10 will be paid each month).
For Spend & Save Plus, the same cashback is available for the first six months, and it will then revert to £5 cashback a month (customers can receive a total of £90 in the first 12 months).
To earn the cashback, customers must make 20 debit card payments each month.
The Spend & Save Plus account comes with a £3 monthly maintaining the account fee.
Customer reward
New customers who meet the terms for the £100 payment will be offered a free reward if they make 20 or more payments using their new TSB debit card in December 2024. They can choose from:
- A night away for two at a choice of leading hotels
- 2 Odeon cinema tickets every month for 3 months (6 tickets in total)
- A Now TV entertainment 6-month subscription
Carys Barnes, Head of Personal Current Accounts at TSB, said: “We’re always looking for new ways to reward customers. Our latest switching offer and reward gives customers another great reason to switch and enjoy the benefits of our current accounts.”
