    Not for man months (6+) now
    If I'd realised I would have opened it a long time ago! I just read the info at the beginning of this thread:


    Special conditions: Must hold a current account with HSBC and the standing order must come from that account. If you pay in less than £250 per month then you can make up the extra amount in future months - your maximum balance goes up by £250 per month. For a version of this account which requires a current account that does not have a fee, see below.


    and assumed it carried a fee. Guess the monthly pay in requirement isn't up to date either then.


    Edit: I just read my post & realised it sounds rather negative - that's not how I meant it, just pointing out that the info needs updating! I really appreciate the info in this thread - thanks a lot Special Saver!
    I don't think I can hang on til Friday...

    Great to see TSB bucking the trend and actually increasing rates. Shame it is only one per person and not one per current account but at 5% you can't complain too much I guess.

    Thanks for posting about it anna42hmr

    Logged on>select the a/c>tick T&C - returns acceptance and a/c number. Set up SO.

    But the last bit of that paragraph read: 'Advance account now available free of charge - see post 2895.' And the monthly payment info is also still current.

    I stand corrected again! I was thinking about the monthly funding requirement for the current account, not the monthly saver - derr... And I didn't read any further when I saw the bit that said see other post for version that doesn't carry a fee.
    Sorry!

    Good news and good spot.
    Stupidly easy to open as an existing current account holder.

    :T :beer: :T
    Do Money Saving sites make you buy more bargains - and spend more money?

    Are you able to transfer the 1st payment to the account immediately?

    I can't see how to do this - setting up a standing order only seems to be available from tomorrow..

    Payments must be made by SO. Earliest you can get an SO done (from TSB or other bank) is tomorrow.
    2.1 You can only pay money into the Account by your Standing Order
