The bank is offering the cash to new customers who open an eligible current account with the high street lender.
That includes the bank's fee free Everyday Current Account.
As part of the deal, customers will receive £180 within 90 days of making the switch.
But there are some requirements to get the cash.
For starters, customers need to pay £1,500 into the account within 60 days. This does not have to be deposited all at once.
Customers must also set up two active household Direct Debits on the new account.
This can include your council tax, mobile phone, home phone, broadband, paid-for TV packages, water, gas and electricity bills.
If you are interested, you will need to make the switch by using the Current Account Switch Service (CASS).
CASS helps people switch their current accounts by handling the move for free, including moving balances and payments to the new account and closing the old one.
It is a free service and helps move customers' balance, direct debits and salary over in seven days.

Existing Santander customers may also be eligible for the free cash.
Customers might still qualify for the incentive if they opened an account after January 1 2025.

Flight paths shake-up could mean quicker journeys and fewer delays for passengers
The move could even be a boost for 'flying taxis' of the future CHANGE IN THE AIR Flight paths shake-up could mean quicker journeys and fewer delays for passengers Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PASSENGERS could enjoy quicker journeys and fewer delays under the first shake-up of flight paths in 70 years. Ministers have ordered an overhaul of UK airspace to create more direct routes. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up The review could also let planes climb into the sky quicker to reduce the noise for communities below. In the long-term, the government says the redesign would even create the necessary airspace for the 'flying taxis' of the future to operate. Britain's flightpaths have not been changed since the 1950s when there were just 200,000 flights per year, compared with 2.7million in 2024. It has resulted in flight congestion that often forces planes to circle overhead before landing, causing frustration to passengers as well as more emissions. A new UK Airspace Design Service will be up and running by the end of the year, and will first focus on re-carving London's flightpaths in anticipation of a third Heathrow runway. Transport Minister Mike Kane said: 'Redesigned 'skyways' will turbocharge growth in the aviation industry. "Not least by boosting airport expansion plans and supporting job creation, driving millions into the UK economy as part of the Plan for Change. 'Modernising our airspace is also one of the simplest ways to help reduce pollution from flying and will set the industry up for a long-term sustainable future.' Tim Alderslade of Airlines UK added: 'Modernising UK airspace is long overdue. "These changes will help to speed up a programme that will provide tangible reforms, from a reduction in delays, improved resilience and lower carbon emissions.' Travelers have only days before May 23 'flight switch' rule ends – you face long delays if you don't act immediately

Visa A2A payments land in the UK
Card giant Visa is taking aim at the UK's burgeoning account-to-account market through its new pay-by-bank offering. 0 Visa A2A promises to give Brits greater choice, control and protection over how they pay via bank transfers. The firm says it will let people easily manage their bills and subscriptions through their bank app while effectively providing a similar level of protection typically associated with card payments. For businesses, Visa A2A takes advantage of real-time settlement through Faster Payment System to offer greater visibility over payments and simpler cash flow management. Firms can take advantage of the digital nature of the service to get notifications if a consumer changes or cancels payment permissions, and it also provides them with the ability to include more transaction data for reconciliation. With an operational technology platform ready to process bills and subscriptions, Visa plans to expand Visa A2A to include ecommerce payments in the UK with a phased approach. The firm is also working with an open model that will enable banks and other industry partners to join and extend open banking-enabled payments to businesses. Mandy Lamb, MD, Visa UK and Ireland, says: "Visa A2A is a game-changer - it means for the first time UK consumers and businesses using pay by bank will benefit from a similar level of protection typically associated with card payments." Isabel Pitt, deputy director of payments, Nationwide, adds: "A2A payments are rapidly gaining traction across UK businesses and consumers, offering a seamless and efficient way to transact. However, for these payments to reach their full potential, the right framework - rules, capabilities, and protections - must be in place. That's why we're excited to collaborate with Visa and our industry partners to bring Visa A2A to the UK."

Pubs and restaurants are ‘under threat' after Labour's tax hikes — with a third now running at a loss
Landlords are now warning punters that putting up drink prices is the only way they can survive LAST ORDERS Pubs and restaurants are 'under threat' after Labour's tax hikes — with a third now running at a loss Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PUBS and restaurants are being driven into the ground by Labour's tax hikes - with a THIRD now operating at a loss. A damning industry survey reveals the number of boozers at risk of closure has increased 11 per cent in the last three months. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up Landlords are now warning punters that putting up drink prices is the only way they can survive. The average price of a pint has already soared to £5.17 in Britain, and The Sun's Save Our Sups campaign is calling for more support for the countries' embattled locals. In a rare joint intervention, four trade bodies have come together today to warn hospitality is 'under threat' due to April's National Insurance rises and Business Rates whack. They are demanding urgent relief for the pub and restaurant sector which they claim was saddled with £3.4billion extra costs. As well as a third of bosses disclosing they are in the red, their survey also revealed six in 10 have been forced to cut staff to save money. Sounding the alarm are UK Hospitality, the British Beer and Pub Association, the British Institute of Innkeeping and Hospitality Ulster. They said: 'Hospitality is vital to the UK economy but is under threat from ongoing costs rises, which the April increases have only exacerbated. 'Jobs are being lost, livelihoods under threat, communities set to lose precious assets, and consumers are experiencing price rises when wallets are already feeling the pinch.' Meanwhile, a separate report showed private sector activity is at its weakest since 2022. The Confederation of British Industry also blamed Rachel Reeves' £25billion NICs hikes for hurting businesses. Locals Heartbroken as Auchenmalg's Only Pub, The Cock Inn, Closes Down
