About this prize draw

For a chance to win, you need an eligible Co-operative Bank or smile current account and use it to pay at least one qualifying Direct Debit every month.

  • Over six months, we’ll pay back eligible household bills for up to 10 customers every month, to a maximum of £5,000 each.

  • The more bills you have, the bigger your win could be. So it could pay to switch your Direct Debits to us.

  • Eligible customers will be entered into each draw automatically.

Step 1 - Hold one of the following accounts

  • Cashminder

  • Current Account

  • Current Account Plus

  • Privilege

  • Privilege Premier

One entry per customer. If you’re a winner and have more than one eligible account, including joint accounts, bills will be paid back on the account with the highest Direct Debit total.
