Santander edge debit card for overseas spending and withdrawals
Is there any reason why the Santander edge debit card would not be included in Martins list of travel credit and debit cards? Am I correct in saying there are no fees for using this card for foreign spending and cash withdrawals? And the £3 monthly fee can be avoided by not setting any DD on the account?

Bank paid me interest within an hour of funding new a/c
I opened this account on Wednesday evening with Monument Bank. I knew from opening an earlier one that you got the account number within a couple of minutes, and that faster payments received right up to midnight were credited the same day.

Santander Select
Just had an email to learn that, apparently, I'm one of Santander's "most valued customers" (presumably because I've currently got 20 quid in my 123 Lite account, and they're very grateful) and so they're "upgrading" me to "Santander Select, our premier banking service".While it's very nice to be appreciated, I'd be even…

Switch current account
I switched my current account from NatWest to Santander last month, I didn't do my homework on what kind of facilities Santander's app had to offer.
