Edge Saver. 

"You can only pay money into your account online from your Santander Edge current account."

I hadn't spotted that before. 

If they meant "may" or "must" they should have said so.

I funded my Edge Saver from my 123 Lite Current Account.

The Edge Saver had a standard sort code and account number so you can fund it from anywhere.

I got the same, so I printed off the form that they sent and posted it to them.
You won’t be able to successfully apply for the edge saver until your edge current account appears in your app.

You may already be sorted but in case anyone else gets the email from Santander with the form to fill in and post with ID when opening the edge current account, I called them this morning and apparently in my case, the reason for it was a discrepancy between the way I had filled in the address field and how it appeared on their system already.

He fixed it so they matched and the system will update overnight so the edge current account will appear with my other accounts in online banking and I'll be able to apply for the edge saver tomorrow.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is the case anyway.

But definitely worth giving them a call and seeing if the issue can be fixed over the phone instead of having to wait if doing it by post.

Based on info on the Hanley dedicated thread, it appears the information is incorrect and it is only going to 5.25%. Thought they’d given a generous extra boost to compensate for the ts and cs change, but I was very surprised.

Yep, I also funded my Edge Saver from my 123 account. Seemed a bit pointless moving the money into the Edge current account first.

I have funded mine from all over the place. No problems.Thanks to all who have provided advice

Sorry to read about your troubles with the application - hopefully it looks like it's sorted now. When I applied I made sure I was logged into my account first and went through the 'Apply online (Current accounts)' link in the column at the right side of my homepage. Not sure if that makes a difference as you still have to enter your personal details manually. You'd think it would automatically fill in those details with existing account info.
