Alliance and Leicester eSaver Issue 2 - QUESTIONS

1 - Opened account 3 weeks ago, will i still get original higher interest rate when i deposit my funds?

2 - Is there any other way of paying in money to the account other than walking into a branch? I have 10k sitting here in an HSBC account which has been withdrawn from my ING account therefore i need to get it to the eSaver Issue 2 ASAP. Problem is I cant get to a branch for a few days.

CHEERS.

    I dont think the linked account is the one that i wish to transfer the funds from.

    Can i just log into HSBC and transfer the funds to the Alliance and Leiecester account? cheers

    Yes.

    Sort Code: 72-58-10

    With HSBC, the £10K payment might go via the FP route.

    NB: Your rate is now 6.30% AER, not 6.60% AER as it was when you applied.

    FP = Faster Payments (immediate/within 2 hours/same day...depending on organisation. In other words, not subject to the 3-day BACS delay).
