By Barbara Mutedzi Typically healthy, high performing people are super clear and focused on their goals, values and purpose. These types of people are also very good at setting boundaries, both consciously and unconsciously. Unconsciously, because their time is filled up with activities aligned to their values, purpose and goals. Consciously as they choose where […]

BRITISH banks have been offering new and existing customers up to £200 free cash just in time for Christmas – here’s how you can claim.
More than four major banks have launched new schemes, allowing customers to pocket free cash.
Lloyds revealed that users who switch to their Club Lloyds account can receive a whopping £200.
Nationwide Building Society is offering customers £175 to switch to its FlexDirect, FlexPlus or FlexAccount current accounts.
Switching bank accounts has never been easier thanks to the Current Account Switch Service (CASS).
Through the CASS, customers can pick their switch date and leave it to the banks to move any active direct debits to their new account.
Here is the full list of banks offering the best switch offers.
Lloyds has confirmed that customers who switch to their Club Lloyds account can receive a whopping £200.
Both new and existing customers can take advantage of the free cash offer available for those who switch between October 2 and December 10.
Those who switch to the Club Lloyds account can expect the £200 to be paid within three days.
To finalise the switch, customers can either scan the QR code available on the bank’s website or use the mobile app.
Once completed, Club Lloyds customers will be able to select from a range of perks, including a 12-month Disney+ subscription, a choice of Vue or Odeon cinema tickets, a magazine subscription, or a Coffee Club and Gourmet Society membership.
Here are the details and costs of the Lloyds’ account.
Nationwide Building Society has launched a new offer of £175 to switch to its FlexDirect, FlexPlus or FlexAccount current accounts.
To get the free money, you must switch through the Current Account Switch Service (CASS).
It’s also giving account holders a £50 interest-free overdraft buffer to ease burden at what can be an expensive time.
First Direct has confirmed that they have relaunched its popular cash switch incentive for anyone who opens a 1st Account.
Customers can receive a payment of up to £175 by using the Current Account Switch Service (CASS).
Users have to switch at least two direct debits or standing orders within 30 days of opening the account to qualify for the cash.
Switchers also need to add at least £1,000 into the account, register and log on to internet banking and use the debit card at least five times within 30 days of opening the account.
Customers who meet the criteria should expect the free bonus in their accounts by the 20th of the following month.
The bank revealed that new customers switching to their current account to first direct can expect several extra perks, including a £250 interest-free overdraft.
You won’t qualify for the switching incentive if you have previously held a First Direct product or opened an HSBC current account on or after January 1, 2018.
Customers moving across to the bank will also get access to a regular savings account paying 7% interest, one of the best deals around, as well as a 0% overdraft on the first £250.
SWITCHING bank accounts is a simple process and can usually be done through the Current Account Switch Service (CASS).
Dozens of high street banks and building societies are signed up – there’s a full list on CASS’ website.
Under the switching service, swapping banks should take seven working days.
You don’t have to remember to move direct debits across when moving, as this is done for you.
All you have to do is apply for the new account you want, and the new bank will tell your existing one you’re moving.
There are a few things you can do before switching though, including choosing your switch date and transferring any old bank statements to your new account.
You should get in touch with your existing bank for any old statements.
When switching current accounts, consider what other perks might come with joining a specific bank or building society.
Some banks offer 0% overdrafts up to a certain limit, and others might offer better rates on savings accounts.
And some banks offer free travel or mobile phone insurance with their current accounts – but these accounts might come with a monthly fee.
The Co-operative Bank has announced eligible customers could receive up to £150.
The first £75 is given when a customer completes a switch to the bank.
Then, the bank is offering three monthly instalments of £25 – another £75 – to make up the £150.
Both new and existing customers can apply to switch to a current account to make themselves eligible for the payment.
Like any good offer, there are a few boxes to tick off before the big payment comes in.
Customers must apply for a Standard Current Account or Everyday Extra account.
To be eligible, customers must not have benefited from a switch incentive at The Co-operative Bank since 1 November 2022.
And to receive the first £75, customers need to follow a series of rules.
They are:
That leaves the three £25 instalments – and there are some rules to claim them too.
Bankers need to deposit at least £1,000 into their account, have two direct debits and make a minimum of 10 debit card transactions.
Barclays is offering £175 to new customers who switch before August 30.
The offer is only open to new customers who open a Barclays Bank Account or Premier Current Account.
To get the money, you must start a full switch by the deadline – and complete it within 30 days.
The switch must include at least two active direct debits, and you need to pay £800 into your new bank account by August 30.
If you choose to open the sole Barclays Bank Account, you’ll need to join Blue Rewards, which costs £5 a month.
In return, you get Apple TV+ and MLS Season Pass subscriptions, you can earn up to 15% cashback with participating retailers and you get up to 5% interest on your savings with a Rainy Day Saver.
The Premier Current Account is free, but has strict eligibility criteria.
To qualify, you need to either pay a gross annual income of at least £75,000 into the account, or have a total balance of at least £100,000 in savings, in Barclays UK investments, or in a mix of both.
You get access to all the same benefits as a Blue Rewards member, and can also choose to pay £12 a month to join the Avios Rewards programme.
You can read the full details and apply to switch on the Barclays website.
Switching bank accounts can in most cases be done via the Current Account Switch Service (CASS).
Dozens of high street banks and building societies are signed up, including Barclays, First Direct, Lloyds, Monzo, Santander and TSB.
The full list of participating banks and building societies is on the CASS website.
All you have to do is apply for your desired new current account and the new bank will tell your existing one that you’re making the switch – then they will do the rest of the legwork.
Any direct debits are moved across for you, but there are a few things you can do before applying.
This includes choosing the date you switch and transferring any old bank statements to your new account.
You can get these by asking your existing bank.
Switching current accounts has long been an easy way to pocket free cash from banks luring in new customers.
However, these lucrative deals might not be for everyone.
But other perks including free travel insurance, interest-free overdrafts, and cashback, can also make shifting providers worthwhile.

MARRIED At First Sight couple Charlie Curtis and Eve Reid quit the show tonight in a dramatic commitment ceremony.
The couple had driven viewers crazy with their tearful rows and emotional flip-flopping.
Last night they clashed after Charlie discovered Eve had branded her a bully to co-star Polly Sellman.
And tonight there were more tears when Eve was caught listening in to Charlie’s “safe space, breaking her trust in the process.
Eve insisted Charlie was lying when she accused her of eavesdropping in the ceremony, but expert Mel Schilling was on hand to announce to the room that it was Eve who was telling fibs.
The couple were then tasked with writing down whether they wanted to stay and give the relationship a go or leave and walk away from each other for good.
Eve was first to reveal her choice, with Leave scrawled on her card.
It appeared to irk Charlie, who also opted to quit the experiment.
After it became apparent the duo were going their separate ways, Charlie said: “I know things didn’t work out good but yous are f**king amazing, and you’re a great person too, Charlie, I hope someone makes you very happy.”
Charlie didn’t take the compliment too kindly, sniping that Charlie never gave her a chance.
Eve responded: “Keep your head held high, Charlie.”
Speaking to camera, Charlie said: “I’m conflicted. Yes, it’s the right decision but its still tough walking away from people you have feelings for.
“I’m leaving a heartbroken woman right now.”
Before leaving the room, both Charlie and Eve were given hugs from their tearful co-stars.
Prior to the ceremony, Charlie had grown fed-up with Eve’s unwillingness to co-operate with the experiement.
Earlier in the series the couples were tasked with writing letters to each other to open up about their relationships, but Charlie was left upset when Eve revealed she hadn’t done it.
The moment was just one in a long line of arguments between the couple and followed Eve spending next to no time with Charlie on their honeymoon.
Eve claimed she preferred to spend quality time with Charlie, but Charlie shot back: “But you don’t, you haven’t. Stop, because you’re lying.”
A shocked Eve asked: “Are you joking me right now?”
As the row escalated, Charlie broke down in tears and furiously asked Eve to leave the apartment.
