Only downside with NS&I is that it takes a full week until you can withdraw your funds again after depositing by debit card. Alright for small amounts but it can be annoying if you're trying to cycle around larger amounts.0 -
I'm not sure why this is a discussion point, just stick a bit of money in the account and use the debit card for your day to day spending and you'll soon get up to 10 transactions. I've made 6 transactions since yesterday, all things i would have bought anyway.1

Some people don't want to do it so prefer something that costs nothing effectively like payments to savers. I agree the transactions are easier for meRob5342 said:I'm not sure why this is a discussion point, just stick a bit of money in the account and use the debit card for your day to day spending and you'll soon get up to 10 transactions.

People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
