£2,191 this year
£1,875 switch bonuses + £202 saver interest + £114 easy-access interest
This plan needs 3 active Direct Debits
Lloyds asks for the most, at 3. The same Direct Debits move with you to each account, so 3 live at once covers the whole year — and HSBC Premier and NatWest Premier need none at all.
