Trying to pay into Tandem from Santander, the transaction was blocked and they've locked me out of online banking and the app. 
Test transfer went through, then £5k payment but was shut down trying to make another payment. I know we're supposed to be grateful for the security but I'd really rather not have to waste so much of my time trying to get access to my money restored.

I'm having problems too. Opened the Tandem account a couple of hours ago, linked my Halifax account and transferred £100 no problem
Just withdrew £10k from Chip in to my Halifax and then tried to add it to Tandem and it failed twice. I couldn't confirm the transaction in the Halifax account - the account details were all in red and the submit button was greyed out so I had to manually cancel the transaction.
Tried again with £5k this time and the approval went through fine with Halifax, but it failed it the Tandem app. Not a great start.

Update - 
Just tried again with £5k, looked like it was going through OK but it eventually failed in the Tandem app.

My wife opened Tandem account yesterday.  Connected to Halifax, sent £50 test by OB - it went through OK.  Then tried to send £5k - failed twice. I've suggested to try FP and it worked. Very strange, I've never had any problems with transferring in and out, except once when I sent money from not-connected bank account (didn't read t&c properly) - they've returned the money and sent me a text message explaining why they've returned it.

Two go to 4.8%. Looks like they are saying, stick with us, sure were 0.2% less than the current best but it'll save you all that hassle.

DF Capital Easy Access Issue 2 (NLA) also up to 4.8% now. They've paid out interest to today's date too.

As I thought, they won't match Tandem's offer and withdrew from DF.  Left £1 there just in case they will get to the top one day.  I have now a large collection of "£1 accounts"

Tandem is great and I've had no issues (had account for years), they even manually added my Chase acc since many places doesn't have open banking for it still. 

You can also have multiple "linked" accounts. 

I didn't know you can link an account that's not on the list.  How did you do this?

You can contact support, they will pass it on and you should get email asking to verify yourself + statement proof.

I am getting fed up with all their issue related nonsense and reopening. It's down to minimum balance anyway but thinking of closing mine and OH account. Can't be that difficult to just increase the existing account instead of making me to login each and every time. No app either so for me another disadvantage.
