Thanks, I have now saved it to my computer,
I tried to find previous interest rates, but kept asking me to log in.

Thanks again, heres hoping that a Branch Issue 3 is launched soon to finish off the set.

Do have partner but a/c in single name - just trying to get a bit of decent interest

More fun and games with Virgin.

I've just tried to open a branch RS2. There wasn't an adviser available but I was able to fill in an application form and leave it with a cheque. I was told the account would be opened at head office but it would be 'statement based', so I wouldn't get a passbook or be able to pay cash in.

Is this really a thing? We'll see what the postman brings....

My TSB RS matures on 3 Feb. The balance I'm told will be put into a minimum interest account. I've had letters asking me to tell them how I would like it dealt with, I assume other than being put in the minimum interest account.

So I phoned up to ask for the balance to be transferred to the Santander account which has funded it. I doubt if I will want to start another TSB regular saver as I can get better than 2% elsewhere.

But the answer was that I can only do this by going into a branch! The MOS was not very well clued up. Have people in this situation found this to be the case or was the MOS mistaken (which can happen!)?

I was trying to save them the bother of opening an account that I would close instantly.

Why not login to your TSB account and simply transfer whatever to wherever you want?

My TSB RS was converted into the low interest saver account. I had terrific issues closing the account (they insisted on a signature despite not having mine on record to compare it against), and the complaint ended up with the CEO whose representative was disinterested at best.

Put me right off opening another with TSB.

Six months since mine matured and I missed the message about what they were going to do so a new account was opened . Closed and proceeds transferred to my TSB current account, all arranged over internet. I then transferred the funds out to my Santander account. That might be an option for you, assuming you have a TSB current account?
