Get paid in 5 steps

Follow these in order. Skipping a step is the #1 reason rewards don't track.

Step 1: Open a Co-op Bank Current Account

Step 1 of 5 — the sooner you complete it, the faster your reward tracks.

Step 2: Switch via CASS with 2+ Direct Debits

Everyday spending counts — groceries, fuel, subscriptions. Refunds and gambling transactions don't.

Step 3: Deposit £1,500

Move the qualifying amount from your existing bank via faster payments. It arrives instantly and counts toward the bonus.

Step 4: Make 5 card payments per month

Step 4 of 5 — the sooner you complete it, the faster your reward tracks.

Step 5: Keep 2 Direct Debits active

Everyday spending counts — groceries, fuel, subscriptions. Refunds and gambling transactions don't.

Insider tips

  • Complete the whole flow in one sitting — leaving it half-done is the top reason £200–£300 bonuses fail to track.
  • Take screenshots of each step in case you need to raise a support ticket later.
  • Add a calendar reminder for the qualifying deadline so you don't miss it.
