For Reg savers which require a SO (BOS, Hal, Lloyds x 2 and TSB for the ones I have) which are a minimum amount, can I top these up by doing an online bank transfer?

I know some only allow 1 deposit per month (which would have been done with the SO) and I haven't needed to do so previously, but now due to dwindling rates...

I never fund BOS, Hal, Lloyds x 2 by SO and yes more than 1 payment can be made per month, TSB "you can only pay in once a month by standing order"

Ok thanks I'll have to change them then as I prefer to do it manually.

So does that mean TSB only allow a SO? So I can't top it up afterwards?

Yes, TSB only allows a SO Payment, not possible to make payment by internal transfer, you could try amending date on SO and see if second payment goes through

For a change ,TSB's actual words are unambiguous:
Monthly Savings Account | Savings | TSB Bank
"You must set up a monthly standing order between £25 and up to £250 from a TSB current account. You can only make one payment each month into your account."

I don't have SO for TSB, I simply make a transfer from my TSB current account every month and never had a problem. I've never tried to make a second payment though so can't say if it would bounce back or not.

I cannot make an internal transfer to Monthly Saver, does not appear in list of accounts (To) and yes I have scrolled through list of accounts contained in (To)

Despite this unambiguous condition, my wife and I have both funded our past and current TSB Monthly Savings Accounts by standing order from our main current account at another bank (Lloyds) without (so far) any repercussions.

Yes I transferred a TSB account out, set up SO from a different TSB Account, forgot to cancel SO and ended up with 2 Standing Orders going into Monthly Saver during One Month with no repercussion

It doesn't need to be in your list of accounts to make a payment when you want, just set up a payment as you would if making a payment to any other account.

Like Saver53 I am funding my recently renewed TSB MS by SO from an external current account. The first two have gone in ok. My TSB current account has a low balance since they stopped paying interest. I suppose instead I could set up £250 SO from my external CA to my TSB CA a few days before another £250 SO leaves the TSB CA for the MS.
