Regular Saver Thread **New and Restarted**

greenglide

I think it is five years, not six months (not sure where I got the six months from!).


It has been like that for many years now.

Don't know what you lot are bickering about regarding photo ID. Personally I don't have any , driving licence is old and green , passport is long gone. Being middle aged and pig headed ,I`m actually proud of that. Has this caused me any problems, NO. I can honestly say ,I have never been declined any product financial or otherwise because they couldn't verify my identity. If this ever did become a problem, I would simply go elsewhere. On principle of the matter.

Wait until you are 70, then you will have to surrender that paper licence for a photo licence. The same thing will happen if you move house.

In that vein, crystal ball time. TSB, if they ever get their online application sorted out , likely hood in your opinion of them upping the rate to 5%, in other words do you renew now or hang on and hope?

Well apparently you'd have to go in-branch - no online renewal ATM.

I renewed one on the phone but people think I was just lucky...

That's a good question. Personally, I'm unlikely to renew initially, trying to cut back my accounts, and 2% doesn't excite much these days. Certainly not going into branch for it.

I think it's unlikely we'll get back up to 5%. The current account 5% was knee-jerk damage control, that phase is over. We might get an increase to something a bit more competitive. The good news is that I doubt they'll play any 'new customer only' games for quite a while, so it's still a possibility if they do go down that path.

I hope their online current account applications open up soon so that I can attempt to open another Classic Plus...
