    I think this is the way forward then, if TSB are ok with the £500 I pay in being the same £500 I just took out!
    I don't think they mark the notes!

    I know I always say it, but you may wish to google "TSB service issues" before deciding to do business with them....

    Oh dear should have paid more attention to this!

    Application process has a glitch on step 5 of 6 and won't let me complete the application, nobody on the phone seems to know what to do about it!

    TSB is a bank I've been considering too, but I have to admit the stories of repeated IT problems have made me somewhat wary.

    There was an IT glitch in the online application process so I couldn't complete it online, but I've been to a branch today and the staff found my partial application and finished it there and then for me, can't fault the branch staff, but as I normally manage everything online I suppose I'll have to see how that goes!

    Conditions of TSB are fairly easy, but hopefully the branch staff sorted for you.

    As I recall

    1)500 transferred in every month..you can take out same day
    2) account to be paperless statements etc
    3) you need to log in once a month to your statement

    This is how I understand it, sorry if there's anything wrong
    No.79 save £12k in 2020. Total end May £11610
    Annual target £24000

    T&Cs say interest is paid up to £1501 so I'm not wasting a penny!
