'People are using it for savings'

No sh*t Sherlock, they aren't, are they?!!

Not good news though I wouldn't give up hope just yet - may be you just met some jobsworth who is jealous about people who have some savings. Would also make little sense for TSB to p*ss off their potential new customers when they are in the process of splitting from Lloyds.

Have you tried a different Branch, or the phone?

I went into a TSB branch, I was told 'as of 3 weeks ago the limit is 3 accounts across the Lloyds group'. She wouldn't open any more accounts. 'People are using it for savings and the head office is cracking down on it'.

How can they possibly say that? TSB and Lloyds are now separate so they should have no knowledge of any accounts held in the other organisation any more than knowing if you had an account with Barclays.

I could understand TSB having different rules that you can only have 1 account though

I have 3 Lloyds and 3 BOS Vantage.

After 4 weeks waiting I was able to get 1 TSB Enhance. The website won't let me apply for any more accounts.

I wondered why after opening 1 Lloyds Vantage account following my 3 previous Lloyds Vantage accounts moving to TSB it was impossible to open any more online, saved me a trip to a branch, thanks for posting about this. :beer:

I could never open more than one of these online, but had no problems opening the remaining up to max over the phone / in Branch.

I had this as well 3 weeks ago. Manager was following advice from their Regional Manager. It was/is wrong. She 'let' me open the 3 accounts the next day.

What occurred that made her realise she was wrong?

I'll try at another branch. This is what the website tells me "Sorry, we can't offer you a secondary current account."

I only have 1 Current Account at TSB and no more.

I had the same message many moons ago when I tried to open my second Lloyds account. I had to do it over the phone. For the third one, they made me appear in branch.

The online application for TSB Enhance asks how many Current Accounts you have with other banks. I've more than 4, including 3 with Lloyds - is there any point in continuing the application?

Just select 4+ and continue. Worst that can happen is that they turn you down. You are almost at the end of the application, anyway.
