  • I requested to close my Edge Saver by phone on Friday 22 Nov. How do I know when it’s finally closed? It’s still showing on my app with a zero balance. Interest was paid on the day I closed it so I’m not expecting any more. Will it disappear from the app once the process is complete?
    Thanks

    Has anyone tried closing Santander Edge Saver issue 1 via Sandi then opening a new issue 2 Edge saver recently, say in the last month?  The risk is that they will refuse to open an account at the lower rate!   I suppose there are better rates elsewhere, just more inconvenient.

    Issue 2 edge saver is a current product, so there is no risk that your application would be refused?

    For info:

    I have two Edge Current Accounts and two paired Edge Savers, one at 7% and the other at 6%.

    The 7% recently 'matured', I withdrew the funds and asked Sandi to close it, she said it works take 5 working days. 

    It's only 2 working days later, it's still in my list of accounts but I tried to apply for a new 6% one, the system wouldn't let me. 

    I'll try again when it disappears after the 5 working days.
