Cahoot Question

I opened a Simple Saver account today. I put a few thousand into it and then tried to withdraw £1 as a check. It wouldn’t do it, and gave me an odd error message:

“Order not allowed due to notices in the account attention!”

Can anyone tell me what that means? I really hope they haven’t done something like freeze the account, because access to that money is needed this coming week.

It's not uncommon for certain banks to restrict withdrawals for a short time after opening an account, so I'd check the account T&C's.

Yorkshire BS are one example of a bank or building society who do this that I've personally come across.

Oh - good point. Hopefully that’s just it.

Good to know that Santander haven't changed that bit of software for ten years

Guess it means you can't withdraw from that account. Whether it's a one day hold because you only opened that account today or they have another reason you'll have to ask them.
