    Have you tried
    1. a second TSB Plus?
    2. a FlexDirect?
    3. a Tesco current account?

    If not, why not?

    May be you are not aware that you can use the same money to fulfill the minimum monthly deposit requirements of several accounts?

    I have looked to see if I can get 2 TSB Plus A/C But I don't think you can get 2....

    I don't really wanna bank with Tesco or Nationwide.....

    Nationwide A/C Is 5% For the 1st year and 1% after (No good for me)

    The only A/C with interest rates that are good for me is TSB Classic Plus and Club Lloyds (But don't think I will meet the requirements etc)...

    So hoping HSBC Or Barclays Release Interest Current A/C otherwise will just open one for now

    My understanding is that you would be able to open a second account until the end of this month. Anyone who is able to open a second account will be allowed to keep it and there is no harm in trying.

    Log out of your TSB account and then apply for a Classic Plus account whilst logged out.
    You should be able to open a second Classic Plus account by this method.

    HOW MANY ACCOUNTS CAN I OPEN?

    If you opened a TSB Classic Plus account before 13 October 2014, you can open four accounts - two single and two joint. You'll have until end of January 2015 to open the remaining accounts. If you open this account after 13 October you can only open a maximum of two - one single and one joint. See TSB Classic Plus news story for more details.

    Ignore that MSE article. There have been several reports from people who opened two sole accounts during December.

    yours and everyone else's but the OP's........

    people report that they have to apply when not logged in to their TSB account. Hope this will work for you, too.

    only the OP will understand (may be) the logic.


    UPDATE
    I opened a second account....WHOOP!!
    Best thing is, it comes up on list my of accounts with TSB when I log in to my first account. I have TSB Classic Plus, Easy Saver and Credit Card listed..... and now I have a second Classic Plus all on the same login.

    I did open my first account before October 2014 though so this maybe why I have been allowed to open a second.
