Tesco Current Account

Posts: 339 Forumite


We have a couple of old Tesco current accounts which basically haven't used since their interest rates dropped from 3% to 1%.
Given the current climate 1% is now looking pretty good, and I'm trying to find out if that is still the rate on those accounts. I can't remember receiving any correspondence saying they were dropping but as I haven't been actively using those accounts I could well have missed it! I also can't find it on the the tesco bank website. Does anyone know if these accounts are still attracting 1%?

Sorted, have actually opened the online statement for the first time in forever. It says the rate is 1%.

Seems like Tesco Bank aren't having new current account customers ever again, shame.0
