How can I easily close my TSB accounts?

Reading this thread, I realised I had a Barclays everyday saver I wanted to close, but hadn't got round to it. Just logged on to online banking (feature not available in app) and closed it in minutes. 

Thanks for the nudge.

It would also appear that you can close a TSB current account using the chat bot too.

It warns you to first download any documents you may need, so I bailed out early (as I will go and save last statements) but it was looking promising.

Anyone successfully closed a CA using this method?

Thanks to this thread, I managed to close my easy saver.

Whilst at it, I realised it's easy to close all those pesky "savings pots" , too
No chat needed - just click the menu thing at top right after opening up the savings pot and it gives you an option to close

But then I wondered if it may be a condition of the £5 cashback to keep the savings pot open?

It'd be good to be reassured by someone who knows

Many, many, thanks for this thread. We have finally managed to close 8 current accounts and 14 savings accounts that  we have tried to action for the last 8 months.

The best thread that I have seen this month.

You are the  greatest sparkiemalarkie!

Savings pots have never been a pre-req for the monthly fiver. Check the T&Cs.

I will switch the other 2 accounts away but I would like everything closed down so that non of my details remain.

The bank will hold your details after the account is closed.

Both hubby and I have now asked for our sole classic plus accounts to be closed using the app.   

We still have a joint account, which we'll keep as an emergency spare with say £100 in it.

thanks again for the info about app closures.
