direct debit options advice!

Options
Hi all,

I've spotted a few threads discussing this but nothing up to date. Can anyone give me the latest on the best options for setting up low pay out direct debits to myself. I used to have two Tesco savings accounts which worked well and would love to find new similar options.

I'm looking for two for my Club Lloyds account, two for my Bank of Scotland Vantage, and potentially two for a Barclays account if I go for that new offer...

Thoughts?

    Thanks for that. Very helpful, although seems to have not been updated in a while.

    Post Office Online Saver suits the purpose very well.

    It might also be worth looking into the Marcus savings account as the interest rate is the same as Bank of Scotland and Lloyds, but without the need for DD's etc and no limit of 5k.

    Last time I checked this wasn't available to the public in the UK. But maybe I missed something.

    You did indeed! It's been launched in the UK this week and has seemingly been inundated judging by the state of its website today, see all the threads on the savings board for more info....

    You can pay my car tax and home insurance if it helps. :)
    I came into this world with nothing and I've got most of it left.
  • Birmingham Midshires Savings accounts also accept direct debits and I think you can fund a paypal account by direct debit too.

    To avoid the risk of spoon-feeding everyone the information, there are A LOT of good suggestions in the thread mentioned above if you have the energy to look through it. Yes it hasn't been updated in a while, but the vast majority of the suggestions are current and still able to be set up now - particularly those in the first post.
