Tesco Savings DDs
Comments

I phoned Tesco Bank. It is true about the DD facility being withdrawn.
Letters detailing the changes will be sent out between 23 October and 3 November to existing account holders.
I was told it's to do with changes in banking regulations coming in for ALL banks on 13th January, not just Tesco deciding to bin the DD facility therefore IF this is correct expect the same for others who offer a similar facility? Seems DDs to Savings accounts conflict with some banking rules/regs?0 -

Does anyone know if Tesco is trying to tie the DD removal to this regulatory change, as it would appear to the layman to be unrelated, or if there is a separate genuine regulatory requirement to shift from DD funding?0 -
But will the pulled organisation know this? I've plenty of bank accounts still listing DDs that were cancelled long ago. That might be enough, for a while, for some accounts.
Good point. I will probably do nothing until H/fax, M&S, etc. say the d/debits aren't active and stop my bonus and interest.0 -

Let's just wait and see. This speculation is all getting out of hand.
Least that's what a bloke down the pub told me :rotfl:0 -

It wasn't the bloke down the pub that told me,it was Tesco Bank CS. Now I'm or saying they were absolutely correct but that's what I was told. So not speculation.0
