If there are still seven working days before your scheduled transfer date, we can cancel the switch. Call 0345 08 08 500 and our switching team will let you know what you need to do. If you’re within seven working days of the transfer date, the switch process will have already started and we can’t cancel it. You would then need to switch back.
Future payments that are sent to your closed account with your old bank will be automatically redirected to your new account with us. We’ll also let the sender know your new details.
Using your overdraft doesn’t mean you can’t switch – you just need to ask whether you’re eligible for an overdraft with us. If you meet our lending criteria and we agree to the switch, your account can move to Metro Bank. If you’re not eligible, you’ll need to repay your overdraft before switching.
