We contact your bank, we get a list of standing orders and direct debits and transfer them for you. You just transfer your salary as and when you're ready. With the Nationwide Account Transfer Promise, we'll contact your Direct Debit providers within 10 days and, if we don't, we'll give you GBP 100."
