    Thanks for all your guidance with this!
    I have...
    Applied online for the Santander account to get 3% on my £20,000.
    Opened the Santander HTB ISA
    Applied for the TSB Classic plus, once I have gone to branch with ID, I'll then be able to open the monthly saver.

    And once all the standing orders are set up for those, I shall look at other high interest accounts rather than leaving my remaining money in the old 1.6% ISA!!
    The Tesco current could be a good one upto £3000 as you don't need a monthly pay in...the rest need quite a large minimum deposit which would be ok for the first few months, but then I'd run out of money to deposit.


    My current account is with Halifax but I'd rather stick with them for the rewards I get as I get good use out of them.

    Well done, you're definitely getting there:T

    As you're very new to this, and a little prone to panic:p, please make sure you have read, understood, and complied with the T&Cs of the accounts you're opening.

    It would be a real shame if you missed out on interest because you'd forgotten to do something when setting up. Come back if you need clarification:)
