Switching your bank account to another provider is quicker and easier than it used to be. Previously, transferring a current account from one bank to another could be a lengthy process, but under the Current Account Switch Service (CASS) introduced in 2013, it takes only seven working days and your new bank does all the legwork, from notifying your old bank to transferring existing standing orders and direct debits. After the changeover, any payments to the old account are automatically forwarded to your new account. If you want to reassess your relationship with your current account provider, go to www.currentaccountswitch.co.uk.
