TSB easy saver account

Hello 
as I can’t get through to anyone on their phone lines and the website doesn’t make it very clear - can someone advise?
basically I have a lot of money in one of these accounts and I want to know if I can transfer money from it into my Halifax current account.
im getting knowhere on their telephone banking line

Sorry this was supposed to be posted in the normal savings section!

The guidance on the TSB website would suggest not but it can be moved into another TSB account

How to withdraw

No withdrawal penalties apply

 • Cash

• Bankers draft

• Transfer to a TSB current or savings account

(Service charges may apply, see our Banking Charges guide for more informatio

Given it only pays 0.02% at most I’m not sure what the point of keeping the account is to be honest....but you could close the account and ask for the balance to be sent to the Halifax account

Thanks for that

i don’t have any other TSB accounts so i can only get money out in bits with an ATM card
Not much use if I want a couple of grand 
I think it’s silly I can’t transfer my money out of my bank account...

If you go into branch I believe they will give you a cheque for larger amounts and you can then take that to where ever and pay it in.

For an existing customer, it should only take a few minutes to open a TSB c/a on line?

I assumed it would involve a normal online account opening just like for any non TSB customer?

For new customers there maybe more ID checks. You just try it and see, worst you lose 10 minutes by trying?
