    I opened a Classic Plus last week in branch and it was completely hassle free. I had no issue.

    So payments into & out of the TSB Classic Plus can only be set-up in a branch, due to the ongoing online issues?

    I was thinking of going into a TSB branch & opening one, but it's not going to be very inconvenient for me if I have to go in branch to deposit, & then transfer out, the minimum £500 required every month to get the 5%.

    I think you've misunderstood. You'll have to go into a branch to open an account at the moment, but once it's opened you can pay in and make payments out online.

    Have four TSB accounts between me and my missus.


    Only problem I had, was unable to log-in for a couple of days, when it all went wrong. Didn't cause me any problems.

    Everything's good and I'll accept the 5% interest, thank you very much . .

    So it's just the opening of a new account online that's the issue with TSB, even if they are a new customer.

    Thanks for the reply EarthBoy - much appreciated.

    The only thing that they are requiring you to do in branch is open the account. After that, it's your choice how you manage it.
