    I seem to remember that the 1 nominated account from which you can pull money by DD applies to all the savings accounts. So multiple PO savings accounts won't help.

    I'm afraid you're wrong. I have several PO accounts (even two of the same issue) all with different nominated bank accounts.

    I believe the above form is intended to set up a DD to pull cash into a Tesco savings account from a current account held elsewhere.

    I doubt they would allow you to pull money into a Tesco current account from elsewhere but you're welcome to try.

    Let us know how you get on.
  • How does that help? A DD needs to be pulled by an institution of some sort - and they will have online forms of their own. A form by itself does nothing unless there is a mechanism to pull the DD
    I don't know if a Tesco current account can be funded by DDs or not.

    If they can, then that official Tesco Bank mandate form indicated may well do it ?

    There's nothing on it, as far as I can see, that states it's only for savings accounts only.

    They can't, hope that helps

    Clue in the link "... online_savings_ddi"
  • Cheers.

    I didn't think it was possible - now confirmed.
  • Would a charity accept a DD then decide it wasn't enough to take?

    6x DDs (all £1) set up for 3x Vantage accounts last month - the DDs are showing on the accounts, but no money has been taken yet (3x Cancer Research were due on the 5th, 3x PDSA which I thought were due early in the month)
    Start mortgage date: August 2022; Start mortgage amount: £240,999; Original mortgage free date: August 2056
    Current mortgage amount: £226,957.97
    Start student loan 2012: £29,750; current student loan: CLEARED July 2025

    They take a couple of weeks to set up so you might have missed any set up for collection early this month. If that's the case it might be next month before they are called again.

    It's been 4-5 weeks (set up 7th August) so they should have processed then.

    I agree.

    I can only suggest you contact the charities involved - perhaps it's not worth their while to collect £1.00 DDs.

    Have you considered Tesco's Online Saver accounts?
