Can someone remind me re TSB monthly saver, is it ok to transfer in first £250 from external account and then set up SO from external account for following 11 monthly payments? Or do I need to set up and pay first £250 from TSB current account via a SO then I can cancel this and change to my external account for following 11 monthly SO? Thks 

Mine is funded from external accounts - both first payment and subsequent SOs.

The terms and conditions are clear on this - whether the provider enforces them is not always consistent.

It also doesn't state what the consequence is for depositing from somewhere that isn't a TSB account.

I am thinking we might not see Halifax improving their regular saver rate after all. Today's events seem to have pushed the rate curve down and that may imply we won't see banks passing on even slight rate increases here-on to the BoE rate.

... presumably with the announcement of a new switch offer to pull the customer's in.

Yep aware of the terms but from what I’ve seen on this board the requirement to fund via SO from TSB current account is not enforced.
