The interest rate on this account has been reduced from 2.15% to 1.65%. This occurred sometime since January 2016. The details of the account appear to be the same as SS has previously recorded.

I opened my Santander RS last week. 25 minute wait for the call to be answered, then the guy who answered, after running through the security questions, said "Oh, you're a Select customer, I have to transfer you to another team"!!!. Anyway, the whole process took 40 minutes, but if you are Select then ignore the number on the website and use the Select hotline number.

Never known anything like the palava we had to go through. not made any easier because he wouldn't speak to me as account is to be in wife's name and she didn't know the ins and outs of the account. Had to put it on speaker-phone eventually and have a 3 way chat. had to tell him several times exactly which account we wanted but he still insisted telling us about all the others. nearly gave up as it was hardly worth it!

Even better for those with something to switch to it. ( doesnt require anything in account that is being used to switch from, although I would tend to leave a small balance )

I've looked at TSB and Lloyds terms & conditions and can't see that the standing orders have to be from their current accounts. Is this correct or have I missed seeing it?

Are you sure you looked at the TSB T&Cs?

2.1 You can only pay money into the Account by your Standing Order

I think 10_66 was stating that he/she couldn't see in the terms that the deposit was required to come from an existing Lloyds/TSB account?

2.1 is clear - it can come from any source except a TSB savings account. So an SO from another bank account is fine.

Yes, that's how I read it to be.
