I've been told it's £10K per day for all banks.


Darned annoying isn't it. Why, I don't understand.

I managed to do a single £18K faster payment from Lloyds Current to Santander 123 yesterday.

I think the limit is £25K per day with Lloyds.

Thanks for that, I'm very behind the times - I thought the limit was £10k so have been transferrring £10k per day for the last few days!

My money is in - allocating here and there but Tesco will not allow me to set up a second current account - perhaps because I am abroad.

Is there a First Direct 2% savings account does anyone have a link?

S&S ISA has been topped up

Nationwide 1.7% sounds interesting

I looked when one was mentioned above. All that I could find was a CASH ISA holding a balance of over £40,000! As a First Direct customer I would also like to know if I am missing something.

You're missing nowt! There is no First Direct 2% general savings account. The only account at 2% is their cash ISA and that is set to drop to 1.5% in October.

However, for new current account holders there is the Regular Saver 6% account with First Direct. But then you can only add £300 per month to it.

I put mine straight into my Nationwide flexclusive saver at 2%', not a lot, but better than most instant access

I've noticed a potential problem when transferring this Newcastle ISA to another provider. First off it has 13 alpha/numerics for its account number and the data fields in transfer forms contain room for just 8 digits. Secondly, there appears to be no sort code with these accounts.

Has anyone else noted this problem and overcome it?

How did you manage 2% on that account? Their website shows it at 1.4% gross.
