    None the wiser if paying in £500 per month triggers  the fee either.

    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    Still don't know if you can fund the edge saver from a non-santander  account. 

    Why don't you open one and see?  Then you can let the rest of us know.  That's how this forum works.

    Well, l started this thread to ask about which regular saver was the best out of the two current accounts to use, and it's morphed  into an edge saver discussion.

    So l'm adding  to it.....

    Still don't know if you can fund the edge saver from a non-santander  account. 
    Some have said they have done this, although the terms say it must be funded by standing order, from the Edge account.

    No, not if you have no direct debits in place.
    Comments in bold^
    Thank you for the bold answers.

    So l could put £4000 in one go and just withdraw  the interest?
    This is correct, it's as simple as that.

    The account has no end date, but bonus rate lasts for 12 months only, so you will need to refresh the account if the rate+bonus of new issue suits your needs at that time.


    Thank you for info.

    ... sorry just to divert to the OP a second

    Santander RS 5% fixed max £200 per mensiversary month (from opening date) fully flexible

    TSB RS 5% fixed max £250 per calendar month (13 payments possible) flexible withdrawals
    Note: T&Cs state min £25 and payment needs to be by SO from TSB CA, but according to many in our forum these conditions are not enforced.

    I didn't realise  you could add a 13th payment with TSB leaning towards them anyway because of the bigger monthly  deposit.

    Because l assumed  that all the other more experienced MSE would have tried it already, so was hoping  for some already  obtained knowledge to help me.

    That how l thought this forum worked.
