I looked at the Terms & Conditions and they appear to charge £20 for a withdrawal to the linked account. Not such a great deal?

    That is only for a specialist and fast CHAPS transfer, rather than standard BACS, most companies charge for a CHAPS transfer.

    It is free to transfer in and out via BACS, which is the normal procedure, I quote from their T+Cs, the bold is mine.

    7.6 Fees and Tariffs
    7.6.1 Subject to clause 7.6.2, the operation of the Account is free of charge.
    7.6.2 The following requests or transactions will incur the fees/tariffs specified below:
    Description Fee/Tariff
    CHAPS withdrawal from Savings Account to the Linked Account £20 per transaction
    Cheque from Linked Account returned unpaid £17.50 per cheque
    BACS transfer from Linked Account returned unpaid £15 per transaction
    "Data subject access request" in accordance with 8.3.2 £10 per request
    If the Account balance falls below zero £20 per each consecutive 30 day period
    or part thereof that the Account balance is below zero Additional paper copy statement provided £5 per statement

    You nearly gave me a heart attack.
    I don't know any bank that doesn't charge for CHAPS withdrawals.
