Which bank was this?

This may be in the wrong section, as it may be a savings account.

Does anyone remember the name of the bank in 2009 or 2010 where they offered to round up your money to £100? I think the minimum deposit was around £80 a month.

I think it may of been Halifax

I remember opening an account but I couldn't access it until I was 64 - so I believe it may of been a pension.

Unfortunately I've lost the account details when I moved home.

Barings bank. The Nick Leeson instant saver.

Was it Lloyds TSB's "Save the Change" thing you're thinking of? They rounded up to £1 to a maximum of £100 if past threads are anything to go by:

That's the only thing that springs to mind for me anyway:

The future of the traditional piggy bank looked uncertain today as a leading high street bank unveiled an electronic version - and promised to match every penny you put in it up to £100.

Lloyds TSB's Save the Change scheme will allow round-up customers purchases to the nearest full pound. The accumulated change will then be swept into a savings account. For example, a £5.20 train ticket bought using a debit card would be rounded up to £6 and the 80p change deposited into the savings account.

[...]
To encourage take up of the scheme when it is launched in February next year, the bank has promised to match every penny that is saved in February and March 2007, up to a maximum of £50 a month. Customers need to have a Lloyds TSB savings account to take advantage of the offer.

It's strange how lots of my transactions ended in .01 or .02

Oops - seems I misremembered - I was paying 5x£1,01 off my Egg Credit card for sufficient days instead...

Thanks all.

It was definitely a bank beginning with H, it was a TV advert and I'm sure it was blue and had Howie advertising it. I called Halifax and they said they did not have my details on the system, so couldn't of been them?

I'll try HSBC x

Are you sure that you didn't take out a pension policy of some description?
