Sometimes they say like a tenner. Not usually much I don't think!

Title: Opening a bank account Post by: Power to people on Thursday, April 12, 2007, 15:25:24 I have been told that apparently if you open up a flex (I think) account with n/wide and transfer at least 1 SO or DD you will get £100 back after about a month or 2 and then you can cancel the account after that - apparently a special offier !!
