Tesco current account for saving

davidgh

I had no problem opening a Tesco Current Account with 3% interest on upto £3k without having to switch accounts.
What some may not know however is That tesco will not allow the advertised second account to be opened if you already have a Clubcard Plus account.
hope this helps

They both go to the same application page.

Aye but the wording above the switching one made me think you had to switch. Annoying that it's not clearer, although it does take only 2 seconds to work out what's going on

Do you need to prove your identity when opening a second tesco surrebt account?

I didn't know anyone who qualified as a person who could witness the photocopy of the documents for the first application, so I had to go to the post office who charge for it- so that's just eaten into the expected return, and I don't want to do that again....

Hi Holmesy999,

No, you don't need to do it again for a second current account.:) It should be straightforward.
