Very easy to open online too. Not the faff that the Edge situation was at all.

Opened on PC, easy peasy. Always been impressed with Santander, especially online

Santander EA issue 3

Can I withdraw money?

Yes, withdrawals can be made at any time by transfer to another account in Online and Mobile Banking, branch or telephone.

Can withdrawals be made to a nominated account and not just to another Santander account?

Withdrawals can be made to any nominated account, not just Santander accounts. You don't even have to be an existing Santander customer to be able to open the account if I'm not mistaken. I seem to recall the 2.75% one last year was the same.

Looks as if you can withdraw / pay to any account that has a sort code and account number (and reference, if required). No SOs, no DDs.

Sometimes you wake up and look at this forum and it puts a smile on your face. Thanks to the OP about Santander. Opened in seconds. Little things eh?!

Dont know if you noticed - the confirmation email has an incorrect KPI document attached, for an easy access saver with a rate of 2.7-something. I have ignored this, as the account correctly shows 5.2% (I have chosen annual interest payment).

Hadn’t noticed that. I’ve gone for monthly interest and mine showing 5.08%

Great rate. 

Would it preclude a current account switching bonus if they start offering one again?
