    Did you think your account was going to get away with no reduction?:)

    I read that the TSB Classic Plus Account will go from 5% to 3%. It will allow up to £1500. Right now it is £2000. I am very upset by this news. It will begin at the start of February next year. It is currently one of the best deals.
    No sense in being upset, it isn't personal and was pretty much guaranteed to happen when the interests rates dropped.

    Probably move mine out into an S&S ISA.

    Is this on the contactless transactions? So no word on if they'll drop it then
    That was always planned to end on 31 Dec 16 anyway, no change there.

    Wonder how they'll decide which is the "second" account ? I opened both mine on the same date . . .

    I really hope they're sensible enough to shut the one that *isn't* linked to the regular saver :)

    I was expecting the rate drop but not the balance change - that's a bit severe!

    Me too. I was expecting a rate cut or a balance cut, but not both.

    They're not 'shutting it', they 'may convert it to an Enhance account or another current account'.

    Yeah, I thought it was linked to having that particular current account but it seems any will do.

    Although if they convert it to one with 0.75% interest I'll not have any money in it any more so it'll add to the money bouncing around list :(

    I'd prefer if I got a choice so I can keep the linked one.
