    A TSB Plus account will pay 5% on balances up to £2,000 and requires you to pay in £500 per month.

    A Nationwide FlexDirect account will pay 5% on balances up to £2,500 and requires you to pay in £1,000 per month.
    What will your verse be?

    In both cases (TSB & NW), you can take any or all of the money out again, unlike a regular saver, so you're not committed to saving £500 or £1000 a month. You can have two TSB accounts which will take all the money you intend saving, and you can meet the minimum funding by two standing orders each transferring £500 from one to the other on the same day.
