    If you're concerned about 15, you'd be struggling with the 76 I'm managing!

    Is there a list of these 76 accounts? I'd like to see it.

    My girlfriend thinks I'm insane having 8 current accounts. Do need to open some BOS too.

    Tesco have two savings accounts, one called Internet Saver and the other, Instant Saver. As far as I remember, you can only have one of each.

    Can't find a home for all those YBs YB?:p
  • The Tesco Internet Saver doesn't stipulate that you are only allowed 1 (unlike the Post Office Online Saver), just that you may be limited. I have 3 Internet Savers which I've opened over 2 years and draw funds into all 3 by a number of DDR's.

    I did say "managing", because they're not all mine. But all the YB's have gone, yes. :)

    Can anyone confirm that BOS will accept direct debits from Tesco Internet Saver and Tesco Instant Access and you have been credited with monthly interest. I am looking to open an account to put my TSB monthly saver into when it matures end of this month.
