Sadly not, if you leave them you cannot rejoin for 12 months.
I know many banks/apps give you real-time notifications of money spent but do any give real-time notifications of money deposited? This is what I really need.

HSBC i get notifications of money in.

Llloyds give you real time notification of money in, money out.

Thanks guys. Managed to sort out a workaround to get the Virgin account to do what I wanted. You can get an alert when the account goes over a stipulated amount. As you only get interest on £1000, I set up the alert for that, so when money goes in I now get a text. Then move the excess to the instant savings account (0.5%), meaning balance is back to £1000 and I'll receive an alert next time money is paid in. A bit high fuluted I know but it works.

Lloyds, Bank of Scotland, Halifax - yes.

Natwest - yes.

HSBC - yes but limited information?

First Direct - is it still being rolled out? First Direct website still only says text messages.

Barclays - are notifications still lacking detailed information?

Tesco - is it still only available for credit cards?

TSB - still only text messages?

Santander - still only text messages?

Nationwide - still only text messages?

Virgin - still only text messages?

......

I can't see Tesco bothering to introduce instant notifications for their current account now that they've withdrawn it for new customers.
I can confirm that neither TSB nor Nationwide have instant notifications, and that Barclays notifications still lack any details on the merchant, e.g. they say your direct debit of £X has been paid, but they don't say which supplier it relates to.

This article from last week suggests quite the opposite: https://www.finextra.com/pressarticle/87311/tesco-bank-enlists-imimobile-to-boost-mobile-app-usage

That article mainly talks about credit cards though?

Quite. There's not a single mention of current accounts.

I suppose you are expecting a detailed project plan with feature implementation dates. The release states "Tesco Bank is looking to encourage more customers to use its Mobile Banking App for all their banking needs.", having listed the services including current accounts provided to the customer previously, and then describes the notifications feature already in place for credit cards from the service provider. Rolling out notifications and other features like OTP verification to debit cards once it exists for credit cards is a simple job and hardly a "bother" and saves cost for them, it is not just to please the customer. Tesco could do an M&S if that's what you are guessing, yes some on here think that may happen, but there's no public information.
