A woman dressed in black turns out to be Lady Luck. She drives a motorboat and arrives at a pier where good luck befalls each person she walks by. She then arrives at a couple seated on a bench; the guy is playing a California Lottery scratchers game. Lady Luck blows upon his game card and with his last scratch he reveals a jackpot icon.

House 337, Director Rosie May Bird Smith Take Us On A “Blind Date” For Current Account Switch Service
At the heart of this campaign for Pay.UK Current Account Switch Service (CASS) is a playful yet relatable narrative, brought to life in the hero TV commercial, โBlind Date.โ Directed by Rosie May Bird Smith of Biscuit Filmworks for agency House 337, the spot follows a woman nervously meeting her blind date, only to discover the person waiting for her is someone you definitely wouldnโt want to meet on a blind date. The voiceover reassures: โBlind dates. Theyโre a bit like switching bank accounts. You donโt want any surprises. Thatโs why we guarantee there wonโt be any when you switch with the Current Account Switch Service.โ โEveryone knows the pain of a bad date, the gut-churning realization youโve texted your boss instead of your mate, and being stuck next to someone eating the worldโs stinkiest lunch,โ said Ross Newton, creative director, House 337, who added, โLife is a minefield of unwanted surprises, so coming up with the campaign idea was the easy part. The real challenge was deciding which situations to include and which to ditch. Sadly, these scenarios are all too relatable for us all, myself included.โ [video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://wp-shoot.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/27172312/Current-Account-Switch-Service-Blind-Date.mp4"][/video] Read More
