I'm turning down the Santander RS because £200 @ 2.5% will earn me about £32 but first I need to transfer my Everyday Current account to a 123 account, the cheapest of which is £24 a year leaving the equivalent of £8 a year interest! £200 at 1% would return £13!!

I saw someone reporting they had opened the account despite only having an Everyday account.

I have also successfully opened and funded the new Santander RS despite only having an Everyday Current account.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone else who opened the new Santander RS recently mysteriously been sent new online banking details through the post, as though they're a new customer, with a new Personal ID? My existing online access still works as it always has, and shows the new account. I've just filed the letter without scratching off the temporary password panel and ignored it for now.

Me too. If I remember the emails that I received on account opening correctly, it was along the lines that the new id will allow me to log on via online, mobile and telephone whereas the old id were only online and either mobile or telephone. Why that required a completely new id I'm not sure.

Ah, yes, I had missed that email. That explains it.

To be honest, I never use telephone banking, so having a separate ID for it was no hardship.
