Current Account To Basic Account

[Greysmad]

If you’re switching from a current account to a basic account, do all direct debits still get transferred across and also any money going into the account (ie wages)? I know it’s easy switching current accounts from one bank to another but wasn’t sure re current to basic.

See under 'Switching made easy' on this page from the Lloyds Bank website:

(It's probably reasonable to assume that other banks work in a similar way).
