TSB savings accounts

freeman3030

Hi all,
I woke up at stupid o'clock a d couldn't get back to sleep so decided to organise my finances.
I applied for a TSB Classic Account. It appears to credit you with £5 per month and an additional £5 if you make 20 debit card purchases... Which I probably do some months.
Almost a year ago I switched to a Barclays blue rewards account and used the current account switch service. I was just wondering if this still requires me to go into a branch and go through it with them or whether I can perform the switch without having to visit the branch?
Also, does anyone know how many esavings accounts you can have with TSB? Barclays only permits you to have about 3 or 4 and I'd like about 6.
Many thanks!

From the terms and conditions (1.2) ...

You can only open the Account through Mobile or Internet
Banking and you can only have one Account in either your
sole name or held jointly.

If you're trying to organise your finances, you can do a lot better than using TSB esavings accounts with their derisory 0.3% interest rate!

I can't think of any good reason to use the same institution for both current and savings accounts (unless both are market-leading rates), so why not shop around for decent interest?
