    I'm expecting an account closure letter from Tesco, but only because I asked them to close it. ;)  To be fair that account was very much dormant anyway, although it had a small amount in it.

    It's a shame they don't do the same with their savings accounts. You can't even close online, need to call up so they just sit there empty. At least the current account is at the top of the list.
    Based on this thread though I wonder how long Tesco will be around in the current account market
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    For closing our savings accounts we resorted to good old paper, envelope and stamp.  Worked fine.

    Try using it by putting a £1 in?
