    I am on my second Edge Saver without paying into my Edge current account at all.
    Now Santander have informed me that they will be closing my Edge current account in March as I haven't used it. It will stay open if I pay in £1. 
    I want to keep my Edge Saver but I don't want to pay the £3 monthly fee. Can I just pay in the £1 and that's it?

    Yes, I've had the same requirement with Lloyds. Banks like to close dormant accounts, and making a single payment avoids them being closed

    Good hint, off to pay a second quid into my Santander CA.
