SBT from Egg to "savings" account possible?

Tharweb

I have just activated my new Egg card and am wanting to pay the money into the savings account linked to my offset mortgage. Is it possibleto pay it straight into the savings account with my building society or will it have to go through my current account at my bank first?

To be safe you should pay it to your current account first. I heard that if Egg recognise the sort code/account number as a savings account they won't do it.

Until now I have always sent the money to my bank account but I have just tried a savings account for the first time. I got a confirmation email so I guess it is going through. I'll know for sure in a few days.

Cheers. Think I will go for the safe option this time. Good luck with yours. I would be interested to know the outcome.

Certainly you can go direct from egg to Cahoot savings, which is a different sort code to the C/A, without a problem!

O good, 'cos that's what I'm doing.
