Hi all,
Hoping some of you will be able to point me in the right direction.
I am looking to start saving some money for a bond/first months rent and new furniture with a view to moving home in the new year.
This month i would like to save £100 and will be saving around £600-£700 a month afterwards.
In the past i've not been able to save as its too easy when feeling a bit "short" to transfer the money between accounts.
I need some way of depositing the money but it being "a bit of a faff" to get at (i.e. needing to go into a bank branch or give notice of x days/weeks).
I considered Premium Bonds but they do not accept Electron cards and I have no desire to change my bank account.
Having reviewed all of the savings accounts my bank offer, non fit the bill as they insist on a higher amount for the initial investment (£500+) or give immediate online access.
I do not need to make a return on this money, just put it somewhere its going to be easy to deposit and requires a wait to remove.
Can anyone suggest anything?

Dont get online banking and dont get a cash card. Get a branch based account that is miles away from your home.0

why not wait until next month when you will have 100 +600 to save, and can then open an account needing an min 500 initial deposit0
