Just received this email. I’ve looked at the information required fields in-app.
They want employment status, sector and salary band, seemingly in order to satisfy regs, avoid fraud and provide a better service.
On the face of it, no big deal……but salary band?
How bizarre. Why not just ask for gross salary?
I’m wondering why ask at all?
Good point - the Chase application is still in my mind but this is a savings account, isn’t it?
Yep, that’s all it is, these days.
I suppose they still have to consider money laundering and the more information you give, the more they can check against your credit records.
I wonder why they come asking so far down the line. Almost as if they didn’t realise it was sensible to ask up front.
I don’t recall, though, be asked for income info with previous savings providers.
I’ve been asked when applying to investment platforms but I think they might have a duty of care to consider.
Got the same email today. Wonder what happens if I ignore them? I don’t use my Tandem account anyway so wouldn’t mind closing it
Just checked my Tandem app, as had not received an email, and noticed that I must have completed it on application as it’s already in there.
Doesn’t ask for specific income, just which band you fall in. Probably why I didn’t give it a second thought tbh
Just received an email from Tandem about them taking over a lender, Oplo:
We are pleased to announce that Tandem is completing the purchase of a consumer lender called Oplo https://www.myoplo.co.uk/. You may see this mentioned in the media. We have also announced this on our website https://www.tandem.co.uk.

Footnote: Could not add it to the Tandem thread as apparently I am the only one who has posted there recently and forum does not allow multiple posts from same source 
Looks like they’ve had a rebrand.

How random
I wonder what’s up. Tree planting?
Any fixed saver users here?
Yup.
I have fixed savers with Tandem.
They pay me interest annually, rather than allow it to be left in the account and compunded.
(Just in case that is your query 
)
EDIT: I have now seen your query on the MSE Forum, and it has been replied to over there @Rexx
Thank you! It was more about the linked account, but I can’t see the “head shot” that they are referring to!? Do they just mean the generic account and settings, as if so that shows all of my linked accounts not the one linked to the fixed account specifically.
The reason I’m asking is because with my first fixed saver I actually removed all account links on my Tandem account apart from one & assumed that meant my interest would go there. The chat agents even said this, but later on it turned out that fixed saver was still linked to an account I removed as I funded it from there originally. You ought to be able to see that detail specific to each fixed saver
It does appear that the interest for each account is paid to the current account that funded it, by default.
That is the case with all three of mine.
I have FIVE linked accounts, but nothing was sent to the other four.
The headshot icon, referred to before, does indeed just take you to a list of options, one being to view your connected accounts. As we have established, that does NOT mean that any interest will be paid to one of those, unless it was the funding account.
