    We dealt with this when we were all checking for the interest at 00:01 this morning.

    I wasn't quite as early as 00:01 as I thought their systems might be struggling with the mass exodus of £500's, but all is now taken care of.

    That's why I moved my £500 out on 1 January, when I was doing the monthly £500 in and out routine. This time it was £500 in and £1000 out. Hope TSB's liquidity is strong enough to cope with the exodus :(

    If their only customers are MSE users then they may struggle, but I got the impression that we were in the minority.

    People strike whenever they suffer a loss.

    If I was a Roman general, and I was entitled to two slaves tending to my every need, and they cut it back to one, surely I should protest?

    A strongly worded letter to the Times, by God!
  • Bad news that the interest rate has dropped on this account. One question for you guys, which I hope you can answer, I have 2 of these, and I understand that TSB going to reduce customers to 1 account at 3% £1500. Has this happened? I have been on my online banking but see no differences.


    Is there something I have missed? Thanks for any answers.

    The words "we may..." in the communication they sent you perhaps?
  • So my 2 accounts are still in place, although both at 3% £1500 balance, with the usual funding requirements? 60 days notice before any change?


    Please forgive me, I have lost/wiped the email TSB sent. Thanks again.
