    Less than a shake of a nanny goat's tail

    Or to look at it another way, you could transfer out and then back in so the 'waiting' period could be minus several days

    The conditions are that it is paid in and nothing else

    You can even take the money out before you've paid it in

    (which is basically what Coldron's just said)
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    Make sure you've got the right account because TSB's Classic current account doesn't pay any interest. You need the Classic Plus account to earn interest, so if it doesn't say Plus on it, you won't get anything.

    I pay in and withdraw the same day by direct debit with no effect on the interest.

    Quite possibly means faster payment.

    I'd suggest you check the terms and conditions of the account. For example do they specify how long you need to leave your salary in there before you can spend it? If it's not mentioned then there is no time you need to comply with.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    Yes to shape and binary. Just been rearranging DDs for Santander and BoS and had them on the brain.

    Just to reinforce what has been said already.



    I transfer in from another account, close that app, log into the TSB one and transfer the money out again. So about the length of time it takes me to open the app, probably less than 10 seconds.
