Santander 123/TSB/Lloyds Club Month Deposit Question

Hi there,

I have looked around the internet and the forum and I can't find the answer to this (I think my search skills aren't great)..

For all of the above accounts (Santander 123/Lloyds Club/TSB) you need to deposit x amount each month (£500/£1500/£500 or something).

Can you open one of these and just put in the say £500, then take it out, then put it back in the month after? To a DIFFERENT banks bank account (i.e. not another one at Santander).

OR does it have to be deposited and stay there?

I ask because if you have the highest amount you can in a 123 account to get the 3% interest, what would be the point in keeping anything extra.

Does transferring in and out like this work?

    But it needs to go in £500 per month, so I would put it in, take it out, then put it in again the month after (well I wouldn't manually it'd be a standing order that did it).

    ok or
    £20,000 - 500 + 500 = £20,000.
