Savings that accept debit card payments (not NS&I)

As per the thread title, I'm looking for a savings account that accept debit card payments (only so I can meet the £500 debit card requirement with Halifax). I'm done with NS and I's new log in system. I can't believe they went live something so poor, and utterly broken. It doesn't help it takes about a week before you can access your money, either.

Savings rate doesn't particularly matter as I'll stick it back in my Santander account, later.

  • can you pay into Monzo? I got a link to pay someone recently and did so by using the login card number.

    Both Yorkshire BS and Skipton BS accept payments by debit card.
  • Could you use debit card payments to a Revolut account?

    Revolut, Skipton BS
    Yorkshire BS

    From my personal experience, YBS may hold transfers out until they call you for verification (at least a day later). KYC presumably. The first time they asked why I was moving money in and then out again so quickly, if I’d do it again (yes), and what my occupation was. The second time, a few months later (despite the established pattern of transactions), they held the withdrawal again, asked for my occupation (again), my salary, any bonuses, how much and how often, if I had other forms of income.

    Revolut and Skipton have been painless, with faster withdrawals too.

  • Cambridge BS and Wealthify (pensions only) also allow debit card deposits.
  • Thanks all. I'll have a look in to those options.
