Do they get in touch once an account is opened ?

Managed to open one without NI number and all went well, got to the final screen with all the account details on and before I could do anything it logged me out.  Account has not appeared in internet banking / app so no idea what is going on and no account number etc.

I'd be tempted to send £1 across to it, if you have the account details. Either way, bouncing or not, you'll know for sure.  I had to try twice with my NI number.

The Bank of England rate goes up and Tesco goes down. No movement on Marcus either

What the heck are Tesco playing at! The Tesco Bank Facebook site, posted (yesterday), quote: 'As we posted yesterday, the Bank of England has increased its base rate. We’ll be passing the full increase to Internet Saver, Cash ISA, and Instant Access Saver accounts, as well as Round Up savings on Tesco Clubcard Pay+. Our standard underlying rate (variable) will increase from 0.10% Gross/AER to 0.25% Gross/AER on 11 January 2022.

This is good news for those who recently opened a Tesco Internet Saver at .69% of which .1% is the standard rate (variable) and .59% is the 12 month bonus rate (fixed). This .69% rate will apply until 11 January 2022 when the .1% standard rate (varaiable) will increase to .25%. This means from 11/1/22 a total of .59% + .25% = .84% will apply until the .59% bonus ends on the 12 month anniversary of the account opening. I hope I have got this right!

The .84% rate has not been published. But if you go on TescoBank website - Home page - click "Community" - scroll down to "latest news" - click on latest topic "Bank of England Rate Change". The .84% rate from 11/1/22 is what is implied if you have a .69% Internet Saver (not now available).

Thanks for that, good spot.
