Anyone have this account? What are your experiences and what do you use it for? Do you feel it helps you budget or is it all a palava due to the fact you have to top up your visa debit card from your basic account if you want to spend out and about? Anybody who does the piggybanking method use this? https://www.santander.co.uk/uk/current-accounts/basic-current-account

I have never understood why Santander did a top up card type thing.
They should just simply offer an online debit card on the basic account.Im an ex employee RBS GroupHowever Any Opinion Given On MSE Is Strictly My Own0 -
Possibly their way of putting off Basic account customers?0

Hate this bank. Who on earth would go for this basic bank account when others offer a full debit and contactless card with their basic accounts!0
