Is it possible to turn a Personal Account savings pot into a Joint Account savings pot?

[robcross]

I opened a Personal savings pot a couple of months ago and, now that my wife and I have successfully set up our Joint Account, I wondered if there was a way of just converting the “Personal Savings” pot I have into a “Joint Savings” pot?

Or, is it easier for me to withdraw everything from the Personal Savings pot and just start a new, joint one?
I’d like to avoid this if possible as I managed to get a better interest rate than currently available!

You can’t change pot types unfortunately.

• You will have to withdraw all the money
• Delete the pot
• Re-create it in your joint account
• Transfer the money over
• Add it into the new pot
• Have a lie down

Haha! Wow that was a quick response …
I’ll do this

Haha no worries - it’s a pain!

You can vote for changing pot types here:

Ability to change pot types and keep history

I think it would be great to be able to change the pot type from regular to savings and potentially back again (if balance fell below min savings value) without having to create a new one and transfer the money. The benefit for me would be that I would keep my history on the pot which I find useful.

Or pot to pot transfers might also help reduce the number of steps

Pot to Pot transfers

So hopefully I haven’t missed the blinkin’ obvious here but I’d like to be able to transfer money from Pot to Pot. For example: my round up pot is looking healthy so I’d like to move some of it to a pot with a saving goal. At the moment I have to do two transfers instead of one.

And this one

Fixed savings pot to regular pot or easy access pot

To build on this topic I’m about to come to the end of a fixed savings period and the pot has been closed and the money put back into the current account. Whilst I get this, it would be awesome if there was an option to covert the pot where the fixed savings were into an easy access pot or regular pot at the end of the term. In its current format, my fixed savings pot has already been deleted along with the image I chose, the name, the goal (and if I was on Android, the history). I don’t plan…
