Santander ESaver

Hello,

I've opened a regular esaver account today with Santander and I was wondering how I could set up payments via standing order from my current account into the esaver. My esaver only has an account number on Online Banking and so I was wondering what to do around this. I know it has the surcode but I want to be safe and make sure that my account is actually funded rather than into someone else's. Any ideas?

Thanks.

    Hi,

    I can't do that because the account that the esaver is linked to is my Student Account for some reason, even though when I applied, I used my current account login?

    You have more than one log in ?

    Yep - as I said, I have both a Current Account and a Student Account.

    You should be able to see both regardless of which log in you used and then click on set payments tab

    This means that you have got two customer numbers with Santander you need to call them and get them to amalgamate them so that you only have one customer number and then you will see all your accounts on One login

    If you've got two log ins, I wonder if that means you'll be able to open two regular savers?
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?
