    Previous years' issues have permitted you to change the standing order date after (at least) the second standing order payment has been made (so effectively after the third payment). I've had a look at the terms and conditions of it for this year and can't find this statement anymore. Does anyone know for sure if they've changed it so that it can no longer be done? I would ask them, but find that they don't always give accurate information :undecided

    The terms seem pretty clear to me.
    After the first payment into the account you must make 11 more payments on the same date each month by standing order from a qualifying current account.
    (bolding mine)
    Did you really mean to put loose?
    Lose: no longer possess, not to retain, unable to find
    Loose: not firmly or tightly fixed in place

    Yes, that's what I mean, I can't find what they have previously stated, that is that you could change the standing order date after the second standing order payment had been taken (which would be the third payment). The above statement would suggest that you can no longer do that.

    Lol, that's what I mean when I said contacting them isn't very reliable as they don't give correct information. You could definitely change dates previously (their T&C's stated you could change date after second standing order had been taken), I've done so for a few years' now. But it appears their T&C's have now changed.

    I don't really want to start a new thread for this question so I'll post here.

    I have just gone through the switching process to First Direct before the £125 cash incentive finishes and I'll be closing my Santander 123 Lite account as part of the process.

    My current Santander regular saver is due to finish in 3 days, but my switch date is set for May 22nd. I am just wondering what would happen to my regular saver when my Santander 123 account is closed? Like will I be able to set up a new regular saver in 3 days time and continue using it after closing the current account? IE fund it from another bank.

    To hold a Regular Saver with Santander, you must be part of their 123 world. Either hold a 123 Standard Current Account, a 123 Lite Current Account or a 123 Credit Card. If you no longer have any of these, you will be unable to open a new Regular Saver.

    If you open a Regular Saver product shortly before switching away, the account will be automatically closed by Santander.

    I've just done the pretty much the same thing, I'm awaiting my welcome pack from First Direct after returning their request for a sample signature. I'm hoping I can open the FD Regular Saver and fund it before my switch is complete as mine isn't until the beginning of June.

    You can have the Santander RS at 3% without any 123 account.

    To get 5% on the reg saver you must be part of the 123 world.
