Bank account switching in the UK declined with 30% in 2020

Current account switching in the UK has fell around 30% in 2020 as the pandemic raged in the country.

In total, 704,560 switches occurred throughout 2020, compared with over 1 million in 2019. The figure was aided by a rebound in Q4, with nearly 190,000 switches taking place.

The pandemic appeared to have a more significant impact on banks’ end than on consumer sentiment. Customers switched the most when coronavirus cases were at their highest; even when the country was in lockdown for all of November — which was the service’s best month since March 2020.
