    looks like i'm going to the Halifax next less hassle and stress.

    How about TSB and Lloyds to get 5% or 4%? Halifax just pays a straight £5pm.

    And you don't even need to switch to get those rates, just run alongside your existing account if you're happy with their service

    Added a qualifier for you but essentially I agree with what you said. Tesco is part of the FSCS.
