Santander don't consider the UK market profitable enough, so it's logical they ditch loss leading accounts.
But within that link it says...
"...we're planning to convert..."
So, I'm just suggesting to wait until they are past the "planning" stage.
How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)3 -

Can't decide yet what I will do.
I will lose ~ £80 per year staying with Edge so I'll be moving my services elsewhere - just need to research.
IF I was a synic, I'd say that they are prepared for an outflow ready to sell the remaining customers onwards !!0 -

(and there might, in the few months remaining, be a new cashback paying offer from another bank, though that is probably unlikely)1 -
GeoffTF said:where_are_we said:GeoffTF said:Sea_Shell said:Is the Edge saver continuing? With the introductory rate of 6%?OK - I would understand your rationale if your ONLY savings were with the same bank as your current account.It is sensible not to have all your money with one financial institution. This includes having more than one current account and savings in more than one place. I suspect most forumites adhere to this policy especially if it means a better return. Personally I have current accounts, easy access accounts, notice accounts, regular savers and ISA`s. You are correct, in that the downside is complexity.

If you are on paperless communication, you probably have the notice sitting in your Documents folder by now.
