SwitchPiglet is an innovative new service that dramatically reduces the friction customers face when switching banks.
We make switching banks, multiple times if you wish, an absolute breeze.
Banks will pay you £100s for you to switch to them. The more you switch, the more you make.
We donate a substantial proportion of the fees we collect to charities chosen by our members.
Since October 2023, most major UK high street banks have offered potential customers an average incentive of £192.20 to ditch their current bank switch to them. The minimum incentive was £175, and the maximum £220.
If you'd switched to them all over the last few months, playing them off against one another, you could have made a total of £1,730. That's absolutely free money, with no tax to pay, for little more than an investment of your time, and with no requirement to put any of your own funds at risk. We'll make it easy for you to do just that, make a donation to charity on your behalf, and give you the heads-up on even more money saving opportunities.
You can find details of all the current incentives offered by banks on our "Bank Offers" page (see link at the top of the page).
Well, statistically, most people are more loyal to their banks than they are their partners. The average time someone stays with their bank is 17 years. The average marriage lasts just 11 years. Do you think your bank would show you the same loyalty if it decided to break up with you?
Switching banks these days is ridiculously simple. You fill in a simple form online, and sit back for a week or so whilst the banks do everything for you. You then collect a nice welcome bonus, usually in the form of free money at the end of the process.
Sound too good to be true? Well, one of the problems is banks almost always ask you to switch "two active Direct Debits" when you move your banking business to them. We're even beginning to see some banks asking for three Direct Debits. This is usually a condition for you to qualify for the bonus. Call us cynical, but we think that might have something to do with stopping people simply setting up a "burner" account and repeatedly moving it between banks in order to take advantage of the latest switching incentives.
There's nothing illegal about that, of course, but we can see why banks wouldn't like it.
