Confused. If you have a Tesco current account how do you manage that, the new account should link automatically, all my new openings did.

You will get the account details in a few days when they send you the DD paperwork.

Nope, it didn't link, as I said in an earlier post. Rather silly,if you ask me, having two different logins for the same bank.

Just call them, they'll sort it for you

I did. They told me I could login to my existing internet banking and add the account, however there was only an option to add a credit card.

Not overly bothered as only using it for a £5 dd each month but it's just a bit messy this way. Meh.

No you definitely manage all your Tesco accounts using the same login to Tesco.

I see my current account Internet savings and ISA all on the same login if it's not happening for you you need to get it sorted out by ringing them up

a silly question but why do you want a direct debit on your Tesco current account which I think was the original question you asked

I thought that would be the case but in fact I now have two logins, very messy. I think I know why, however, and it is my fault - I set it up the new one with a different email address by mistake, so assume this is why.

I want the direct debit to be debiting my BOS account and Tesco is the best way to do it as I am out of other dd's to use. I need 2 dd's on my BOS account to qualify for the interest and Tesco's internet saver allows a direct debit payment to be paid in on a monthly basis, so that's why.

OK thanks for clarification I misunderstood

You can also set up a Post Office Savers account with a direct debit for £1.

The short answer is you can't - you have to be a member of the system to set up direct debits on other accounts. The exception is if you have (or open) a Tesco Internet Saver account, and you can then set up a DD to transfer eg £5 from your bank account to the Tesco account by DD. The second possibility is manually each month requesting money to your Paypal account - this will be taken using DD. Finally there are various charities and also littledebits.org that will take small amounts (eg £1/month) using DD.

Where does this payment go to? I am trying to set one up but the website does not make it clear where the £1 goes.

Is that there business? DD's for £1 to them, 10% to charity? Crikey, sounds easy, missed a trick there!
