Good spot. :smile:
Santander do surprise from time to time.

Goodbye, Tandem, hello Santander!

Worse app but I suppose I won’t be looking at it too often.

3 click application process from the app. Can’t say fairer than that really.

My most missed feature from this esaver last time round were instant, immediate, transfers. Tandem seems to take a couple of hours for me (still way better than I think one could reasonably expect tho).

‘Fraid so. Funds shifted. :relieved:

I started from the app then got there after logging in with customer ID and number. I can not continue, I have to ho back to the app to authenticate which means this page will be gone and start afresh. So I have to begin application from the browser. Their app is useless.

Likewise :slight_smile:

I closed my old eSaver account and assumed that I’d need to re-apply for online and mobile banking. When I logged into the Santander app it said that I had no accounts and to get in touch with them but still let me apply for the new eSaver. It said that I’d hear within 3 days but when I went back to the app’s home page it was already there :slight_smile:

Makes Barclays rainy day redundant, nice.

If you’re logged in to the Santander app, you don’t need to login again - simply click on the apply button in the app, choose savings and choose the account you want to open.

All your details are pre-completed.

It didn’t do that for me. I was in the iOS app. I took that screenshot right from the app.
I have applied from the browser

Just done it, moved my tandem funds across. £20 over a year for 5 minutes work! Be living in a mansion at this rate.

Maybe call them or go via online banking if your app is crapping out. Edit: which you did, I should learn to read posts in full…

And Paragon……

My YBS Loyalty Six Access eSaver is apparently maturing in a couple of weeks and will move to a new account at a lower rate.

Will be nice to see what interest I get, but it currently only holds a quid as it all got shipped out to Santander. As did Chip, which is currently unfunded.

New rates today, though Zopa really should have just stayed in bed…

Ford Money just announced rate increase to 4.84% gross.

Yeah, thought of you when I got the email.

Sad, I know :rofl::rofl:

Most of my savings are now in Tandem anyway :+1:
