How about the Post Office Online Saver account?
I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole now.0 -
I once used to have one of these. Absolutely dreadful experience as they are very difficult to manage. There are countless reports from people who had difficulties with their PO savings accounts.
I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole now.
In fact, I'm considering closing all my Post Office accounts now that Tesco, BoS and Lloyds are only paying 1%. I'll keep two open to facilitate my Co-Op rewards and Tesco 1%, and I'll rearrange my credit card direct debits to ensure my remaining 1% BoS and my Club Lloyds accounts can still pay 1%. I've closed my other Tesco account and will close my other 2 BoS accounts in due course, so don't need all these direct debits any longerI consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?0 -

As a matter of interest, why are you keeping the 1% accounts operational?0 -

The Club Lloyds gives you access to the Club Lloyds Regular saver, which is one of the better RS accounts at present. Both Lloyds and BOS also have Monthly Savers paying relatively decent interest. Whilst you can put money into these accounts by Faster Payment from anywhere, to get your money out of them, you need to use a current account with them. This doesn't mean you have to keep any money in those current accounts. Tesco also offers some sort of a Clubcard points deal that some people find of use for themselves.
Yes, I have the Lloyds and the BoS monthly savers - I don't think you need to have any DDs on them though? Nor keep a balance?0 -

Yes, that's my thinking - continue to pay into the Lloyds account to avoid the fee, but no money in there (all moved to Marcus) and no DDs.0

I was under the impression that the Lloyds and BoS RS accounts had to be funded by Standing Order as opposed to FP. Is FP definitely allowed and will the accounts credit the payment on a non-working day?0
