It tells you your bank details when you logon (they are just hidden away !). Logon and go to the 'Make a desposit' link on your account and it displays the bank sort code, account no. and ref number.

I just did a one off withdrawal from my Cahoot to Birmingham Midshires.

I would also like to transfer some money directly from my cahoot account rather than re-routing it through my linked current account (I think I'll test with £1 first) but I can't figure out the sort code for Birmingham Midshires and am sick of waiting on the phone. I'm annoyed they didn't include it in the letter and can't find it anywhere on the website. I'll have to try again just before 8pm when it's quieter.

If you look under 'Make a Deposit' within your Birmingham Midshires account you'll find the sort code, account number and reference number to use. From my £1 test last week it took 4 days (Mon to Thurs) to transfer from Cahoot to B Midshires.

Thanks for that Macce and oramgepekoe, job done. I must say the downside to Birmingham Midshires has to be the long waiting on the 0845 number. I hope I never have to reset my password

But the "Internet Easy Access Savings Account (Issue 6)" *is* an internet savings account, unless you're talking about the Telephone Premium account (with the withdrawal restrictions).

They want your custom only to open the account. Once it's open you have to use the 0845 number.

Sorry,not true, I have used it on several occassions without problems, I used it about 2 weeks ago to open the telephone premier account, maybe it depends who you get to talk to as when you request a call back the system does not know what you want.

The service I am experirencing is rather poor. I have got through twice to them on the phone and the person answering was unable to help me on both occasions.

The problem has occured with my account twice (says have to 'reinstate' it). First time it was fixed and now it has occured again !

I am finding it almost impossible to get my phone call answered, when the person does answer they said they cant do anything and will call me back. To me it seems the BM internet account team is pretty non existant !
